Following <I>Becoming a Man</I> and <I>Borrowed Time</I>, <I>Last Watch of the Night </I>is Monette&rsquo;s third and final self-portrait. In this collection, he confronts death&mdash;those of lovers and friends, and even his own eventual demise&mdash;with both bravery and compassion.<BR /><BR /><I>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.</I></DIV>
