The Last Conversation

Paul Tremblay

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

What’s more frightening: Not knowing who you are? Or finding out? A Bram Stoker Award–winning author explores the answer in a chilling story about identity and human consciousness. Imagine you’ve woken up in an unfamiliar room with no memory of who you are, how you got there, or where you were before. All you have is the disconnected voice of an attentive caretaker. Dr. Kuhn is there to help you—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. She’ll help you remember everything. She’ll make sure you reclaim your lost identity. Now answer one question: Are you sure you want to? Paul Tremblay’s The Last Conversationis part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.

    So glad that I got another short story out of this collection that I really liked, it was looking pretty dire for a moment there with only NK Jemisin providing something good. I think once you figure out what's going on the story doesn't feel very unique, but the character work was really interesting and I was willing to let the story take me where it wanted.

    I'm glad I have a taste of Paul Tremblay now, because I've always been curious bout his work but not sure if I'd like it.

    Steven Strait's narration on the audiobook is very good, but I low key crush on him because of The Expanse (and that has followed me through the years thanks to my favorite trash movie The Covenant) so that may be the bias talking.
