Book Reviews of Last Watch of the Night: Essays Too Personal and Otherwise

Book Review: forceful and educated mind
Summary: 5 Stars

[...] I recall being warmly introduced by a senior professor during that first cold semester to the Greeks. Among them, to Antigone, whose womanly defiance and conscience upset the tyrannical edict of Creon the king. She chose to bury her dead brother despite the injunction of the state, fully accepting her dim fate. The writer Paul Monette, in his essay "The Politics of Silence," recalls the words of the Chorus as Antigone goes to her death: Isn't man wonderful?

Monette's admiration of Antigone's courage is matched by his own brave belief in the Word--an inextricable link between language and power [...] --from "Recollections"
