Abstract

The article explores the role of "things" in Hernan Diaz's novel "Trust," focusing on the character Helen Rask/Mildred Bevel and how the narrative subverts traditional portrayals of women in stories of wealth. Topics include the association of women with things, the intertwining of money and art in the novel, and the significance of objects and commodities in the four distinct narratives that make up "Trust."
