Hernan Diaz in conversation with Yukiko Duke
Ply
– Knuden Music Room
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Hernan Diaz returns with a highly anticipated new book. Following his acclaimed debut In the Distance and his bestselling Trust, Ply completes an American trilogy that he has been almost unconsciously building for years. Written partly at Ingmar Bergman’s actual desk and loosely inspired by Tove Jansson’s The Summer Book, this new novel transports readers to a future New York City. A poignant reflection on history, selfhood and intimacy, the story follows three women from different generations fighting to survive in a metropolis on the verge of an epochal transformation. In this captivating conversation with translator and journalist Yukiko Duke, Diaz discusses punk rock, quantum physics and how literature can imagine the future.
