Former President Barack Obama has released a list of his 25 favorite books of 2022, with the 49-year-old Argentine writer making the cut.
Diaz was called out for his second novel, Trust, which was awarded the Kirkus Prize following the publication by Riverhead Books on May 3, 2022.
“Here are some of the books I read and enjoyed this year. Let me know which books I should check out in 2023,” wrote Obama on social media.
Trust, which was longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize, is described as “an unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perception.”
It was named one of the “10 Best Books of 2022” by The Washington Post and The New York Times.
