Paul Monette è stato un autore celebrato le cui opere si sono addentrate nella vita degli uomini gay, esplorando le loro ricerche di identità, amore e realizzazione all'interno di una società eteronormativa. La sua scrittura, che spazia tra romanzi, poesie e memorie, ha spesso affrontato temi come l'amore, la perdita e la lotta contro lo stigma dell'AIDS. Lo stile di Monette è caratterizzato dalla sua cruda onestà e profondità emotiva, che gli sono valsi un posto significativo nella letteratura del XX secolo. I suoi scritti sono una potente testimonianza di resilienza e umanità di fronte alle avversità.

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.
