Talk to Me

Explore the profound, blurred lines between human and animal consciousness in T.C. Boyle’s compelling, thought-provoking novel, *Talk to Me*. Set in the late 1970s, the story follows Guy Schermerhorn, a charismatic animal behaviorist who is raising a young chimpanzee named Sam and teaching him to communicate via sign language. When a brilliant, idealistic student named Aimee takes a job assisting Guy, she forms a deep, intensely emotional bond with Sam. But as the experiment loses its funding and Sam is threatened with being sent to a harrowing research facility, Aimee must make a desperate choice. A masterful exploration of morality.
