- Title
Reading for Value: Trust, Metafiction, and the Grammar of Literary Valuation.
- Authors
VERMEULEN, PIETER
- Abstract
The article discusses Pieter Vermeulen's analysis of Hernan Diaz's novel "Trust," focusing on its metafictional elements and the entanglement of literary and economic value. Topics include the novel's juxtaposition of narratives, its nondeflationary poetics of uncertainty, and its alignment with contemporary modes of celebrated metafiction that blend formal complexity, political seriousness, and readerly immersiveness.
