Like Conrad, Nabokov, and Beckett, novelist Hernan Diaz (“In the Distance,” “Trust”) writes in a language other than the one he spoke as a child, and it helps him see the world afresh: “If you move out of one language and into another, it is like moving out of one country and into another.” A repeat broadcast from January 6, 2023.
