Last Watch of the Night: Essays Too Personal and Otherwise

Last Watch of the Night: Essays Too Personal and Otherwise

Tender and passionate autobiographical essays by the National Book Awardâ€“winning author of Becoming a Man.

â€œDoes it go too fast?â€ Monette asks about life at the beginning of one piece. The answer is a resounding â€œyesâ€ for the individuals who populate this stunning work of nonfiction. These ten autobiographical essays memorialize those whose lives have been claimed by AIDS. Following Becoming a Man and Borrowed Time, Last Watch of the Night is Monetteâ€™s third and final self-portrait. In this collection, he confronts deathâ€”those of lovers and friends, and even his own eventual demiseâ€”with both bravery and compassion.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Paul Monette including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the Paul Monette papers of the UCLA Library Special Collections.
