Susan Choi’s novel “Trust Exercise” takes place in a high school for the

performing arts in an unnamed southern city. But the subjects examined,

including consent, power and memory, are universally relevant. “Trust

Exercise” won the 2019 National Book Award for fiction, and Jeffrey Brown

spoke with Choi at November’s Miami Book Fair about why she decided to set

the story in a high school.
