In 1978, writer Paul Monette and his partner, Roger Horwitz, moved to an area of Los Angeles, which is now West Hollywood.
Seven years later his lover would die from AIDS.
While navigating this life-changing event, Paul found his voice.
For the next 10 years, Monette’s work would examine his struggles while garnering awards and international acclaim.
Paul continued to write until he died in 1995 from AIDS.
Commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of Paul Monette’s passing, A long way but not far is an installation of seventeen blue banners printed with excerpts from Paul’s book, Love Alone – Eighteen Elegies for Rog, written for his lover, Roger Horwitz.
Installation locations: Hollywood Park, Plummer Park, and Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood, California.
