 When the wife of a wealthy recluse dies under mysterious circumstances, a novelist is inspired to create art that imitates life. But the wealthy recluse does not want the novel to be the last word on the matter; Trust is a compilation of multiple perspectives on the event. In this multi-part story, Diaz explores the subjective nature of truth, the stories upon which we build our identities, and the ways pride can blind us to reality.
