Review of The Last Words of Arthur Wallace

I listened to this the first time without reading any of the text and I had no idea what I was listening to. Disturbing, confusing, strange, non-sensical. Read the text and listened to it a second time and of course, the text helps. "The mind tries to make sense of the jumbled memories resulting from a stroke" is essential reading, and of course as a listener you would have some form of this info as host intro/ host set up. Still, I am not sure I took anything away from this piece. It was just short and strange and my mind could not really make much of it. A good radio producer might be able to give it a great home in a longer show, but I didn't get much from it on its own/ on my own.
