FINALIST 1997 - Governor General's Literary Awards - Fiction
"Read it. Last Seen will burn a hole in your heart." -Monday Magazine
"His best novel to date.... Almost unbearably sad, it's also, at times, very funny ... and full of a quirky, left-handed wisdom [for which] we give thanks." -Margaret Atwood, The Globe and Mail
"Unforgettable ... will leave empathetic readers sweaty-palmed and gasping." -NOW
"Last Seen is glorious. Matt Cohen composes an eloquent anthem to brotherhood, to earthly and unearthly attachments, and not least, to death itself. That he accomplishes this with beauty, grace and also great humour is simply remarkable." -Joan Barfoot
"Rich and imaginative ... Last Seen is an exquisitely written and uplifting novel." -Calgary Herald
"Last Seen is a dark, mordantly funny novel [and] a story of tremendous emotional power."-The Ottawa Citizen
