Hernan Diaz

About this event

See Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hernan Diaz (Trust) discuss his brilliant new novel Ply. Set centuries from now, Ply follows an orphan in a city on the brink of profound change, drawn into an underground world of art, music and risk - and a discovery that could reshape reality. A novel of ideas built from a story of people, it blends Dickensian odyssey, family drama and scientific thriller to explore selfhood, connection and the distance between us and those we love. Recently featured on Dua Lipa’s Service95 Book Club, Hernan Diaz’s work continues to inspire readers worldwide. Don’t miss this unforgettable conversation with one of contemporary fiction’s most visionary voices. Hosted by Tom Gatti, Literary Editor at the Observer. Hernan Diaz was born in Argentina, grew up in Sweden and now lives in New York. His acclaimed novels include Trust and In the Distance. Trust is currently being developed as a limited series for HBO, and it has been named one of the New York Times’s Best 100 Books of the 21st Century.
