Hernan Diaz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Argentine-American writer, returns with a surprising work. 'Ply' (Riverhead) marks a radical departure from his previous historical novels, transporting readers to a distant future.
The story unfolds in a version of New York City rendered almost unrecognizable by the collapse of the United States and the end of modern democracy. The novel explores a fractured society through the eyes of a nameless protagonist, traumatized by her father's murder.
'Ply' represents a bold narrative experiment for Diaz, who won the Pulitzer with 'Trust.' This new work, while maintaining his interest in the collapse of legal structures, immerses itself in unexplored territory for the author, approaching science fiction while depicting a world regressed from our current standards.
