A Sunday Times Book of The Year A Mail on Sunday Book of The Year
An Independent Book of The Year A The Times Book of The Year During
the US book tour for his memoir, Hitch-22, Christopher Hitchens
collapsed in his New York hotel room to excoriating pain in his
chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series
of deeply moving Vanity Fair pieces, he was being deported 'from
the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off
the land of malady.' Over the next year he underwent the brutal
gamut of modern cancer treatment, enduring catastrophic levels of
suffering and eventually losing the ability to speak. Mortality is
the most meditative collection of writing Hitchens has ever
produced; at once an unsparingly honest account of the ravages of
his disease, an examination of cancer etiquette, and the coda to a
lifetime of fierce debate and peerless prose. In this eloquent
confrontation with mortality, Hitchens returns a human face to a
disease that has become a contemporary cipher of suffering.
