The Last Interview is a long-running non-fiction series published by Melville House. Each book collects interviews and conversations with a notable writer, artist, musician, or public figure, typically including their final published interview alongside earlier conversations that trace the development of their ideas.
The series began in 2005 with a Jacques Derrida volume and has grown to include over forty titles covering figures from Kurt Vonnegut and James Baldwin to David Bowie and Frida Kahlo. The Kathy Acker volume, published in 2018, gathers interviews from across her career. Each book in the series stands alone, so there is no required reading order.
