Tender and passionate autobiographical essays by the National Book Award–winning author of
Becoming a Man.
"Does it go too fast?" Monette asks about life at the beginning of one piece. The answer is a resounding "yes" 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

Last Watch of the Night is Monette's third and final self-portrait. In this collection, he confronts death—those of lovers and friends, and even his own eventual demise—with both bravery and compassion.
