PEN America Author’s Evening with Hernan Diaz

This evening is now full. Please email Maris Endres at [email protected] to be added to the waitlist. 

Join us for an intimate evening with Hernan Diaz discussing his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Trust. This evening is being generously hosted by Boykin Curry.

“A riveting novel set in a bygone America that explores family, wealth and ambition through linked narratives rendered in different literary styles, a complex examination of love and power in a country where capitalism is king.” –The Pulitzer Prizes

Hernan Diaz is the author of two novels translated into more than twenty languages. His first novel, In the Distance, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. He has also written a book of essays, and his work has appeared in The Paris Review, Granta, Playboy, The Yale Review, McSweeney’s, and elsewhere. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Award, the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, and a fellowship from the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers.
