Last Watch of the Night Essays Too Personal and Otherwise - Thryft

Intimate essays on life and love under AIDS.

If you're seeking profound, personal insights mixed with broader societal reflection, "Last Watch of the Night" could captivate you. Monette's writing, shaped by his own experiences as a gay man during the AIDS epidemic, intertwines the deeply personal with the universal. The essays offer a raw and unflinching look into struggles and hope, giving a voice to a community's fight for dignity and recognition. This could be more than just a read; it could be an emotional journey and a historical witness.

Description

Winner of the National Book Award for Becoming a Man , his candid and passionate account of growing up gay in a time of ignorance and bigotry, this third volume of Paul Monette's autobiographical writing brings together an eclectic collection of essays written under the shadow of AIDS.Meditative, philosophical, sometimes blisteringly angry, Paul Monette presents a simultaneously personal and universal vision of the struggle for freedom faced by gay and lesbian people in 1990s American, counteracting reference to his own illness with a unique perspective on literature, politics and religion.Varied yet focused, damning yet tender, Last Watch of the Night shines like a beacon of hope in a fog of intolerance - offering solace to those who think they're alone, raining down shame on those who would have them stay that way.
