Paul Monette était un auteur célèbre dont les œuvres exploraient la vie des hommes gays, examinant leurs quêtes d'identité, d'amour et d'épanouissement au sein d'une société hétéronormative. Son écriture, couvrant romans, poésie et mémoires, abordait souvent des thèmes tels que l'amour, la perte et la lutte contre la stigmatisation du SIDA. Le style de Monette se caractérise par son honnêteté brute et sa profondeur émotionnelle, lui assurant une place importante dans la littérature du XXe siècle. Ses écrits témoignent puissamment de la résilience et de l'humanité face à l'adversité.

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.

A ground-breaking novel by the author of the celebrated AIDS memoirs Borrowed Time, Afterlife is the story of a new kind of widower--those survivors of AIDS who must try to learn to live and love again after great loss. Though they are very difference Steven, Dell, and Sonny have shared one wrenching experience: All three kept vigil together in the corridors of a Los Angeles hospital as, within days of one another, their lovers died. Now, after a year of gathering as a kind of mourners' club every Saturday night, each man must embark on a life after AIDS--the afterlife
This “tender and lyrical” memoir (New York Times Book Review) remains one of the most compelling documents of the AIDS era - a “searing, shattering, ultimately hope inspiring account of a great love story” (San Francisco Examiner). A National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and the winner of the PEN Center West literary award. For almost two years, day and night, Monette helped Roger Horwitz, his friend of twelve years, fight the AIDS calamity with courage and dignity. His is more than a testimony to the ravages of this plague, it is a love story--one that explores the fullness of human connection and the pain of separation.
