About This Item
Twelve, 2012. New cloth bound in dust jacket.. 104 pages. On June 8, 2010, while on a book tour for his memoir Hitch-22, Christopher Hitchens was stricken with excruciating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in Vanity Fair, he was suddenly deported "from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady." Throughout his 18-month ordeal with esophageal cancer, Hitchens adamantly refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with his eyes open. This clear-eyed, intellectually defiant, ironically witty account is pure Hitchens, as he describes the torments of illness, discusses its taboos, and explores how disease transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us.
