Media reviews

“Hitchens’s writing is tough, heartfelt, coruscating, funny ? and imbued with the understanding that the task in hand is an important one.”—The Times

“I have been asked whether I wish to nominate a successor, an inheritor, a dauphin or delfino. I have decided to name Christopher Hitchens.”—Gore Vidal

“A Tom Paine for our troubled times ... He picks up the sword and mantle of E. P. Thompson, and carries them off with swashbuckling impertinence, valiant for truth, last in the line of English gentlemen-intellectuals.”—Independent

Unacknowledged Legislation is a big, handsome book containing some of the best, most polished and wittiest writing you are likely to encounter this or any other year ... Gore Vidal should be so lucky to have this boy for an heir.”—John Banville, Irish Times

“Christopher Hitchens is indeed hit-man to the intelligentsia. If there is an inflated ego to puncture, he has the red-hot needle to do it.”—Sunday Times

“Lionel Trilling once observed in his diaries that, to his genuine surprise, he was no longer simply a critic of literature but had become a fact of literature himself ... Christopher Hitchens, political and literary journalist extraordinaire, should now be considered a fact of political and cultural reality. His astounding capacity for work has produced a body of work; his vastly ranging, deeply driven devastations and illuminations make up a reliable outlook on the world.”—Lee Siegel, Los Angeles Times

“He is a loose cannon, a sharp wit, an ironist, a polemicist of exceptional talent, and editor’s dream.”—Times Literary Supplement

London: Verso/ New Left Books, 2000. -----The scan you see is the book you get. Quarter bound blue cloth greyish boards with black lettering on spine, headband, xx, 358 pages, Near Fine to Fine condition appears unread, dust jacket is in Near Fine condition now in Mylar. "Hitchens provides rich evidence that his own sallies as a political journalist are nourished by an erudite familiarity with a broad sweep of novelists, essayists & poets. In these pages Oscar Wilde's profound radicalism is uncovered; George Orwell's role as a fulcrum between left & right is carefully appraised; the languid irony & cosmopolitanism of Gore Vidal are celbrated; & a discussion of the fatwah issued against Salman Rushdie prompts a meditation on the West's musunderstood encounter with Islam. Along the way a refined & knowledgeable palate samples offerings from amongst others, P. G. Wodehouse, Arhur Conan Ddoyle, Dorothy Parker, F. Scott Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood,… Read More
