His death in December 2011 from esophageal cancer prematurely silenced a voice that was among the most admired of contemporary voices--writers, readers, pundits and critics the world over mourned his loss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the time of his death, Hitchens left nearly 250,000 words of essays not yet published in book form. Another great book of essays from a writer who we wish were still alive to produce more copy (\u003ci\u003eNational Review\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eAnd Yet...\u003c\/i\u003e ranges from the literary to the political and is a banquet of entertaining and instructive delights, including essays on Orwell, Lermontov, Chesterton, Fleming, Naipaul, Rushdie, Orhan Pamuk, and Dickens, among others, as well as his laugh-out-loud self-mocking makeover. The range and quality of Hitchens's essays transcend the particular occasions for which they were originally written, yielding a bounty of famous scalps, thunder-blasted targets, and a few love letters from the notorious provocateur-in-chief's erudite and scathing assessments of American culture (\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e). Often prescient, always pugnacious, formidably learned, Hitchens was a polemicist for the ages. With this posthumous volume, he remains, America's foremost rhetorical pugilist (\u003ci\u003eThe Village Voice\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49779394773265,"sku":"CIN1476772061G","price":3.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50517053341969,"sku":"CIN1476772061VG","price":4.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417070436625,"sku":"CIN1476772061A","price":4.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51436699549969,"sku":"GOR008782420","price":11.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53686674817297,"sku":"GOR007572984","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1476772061.jpg?v=1751454392","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/and-yet-book-christopher-hitchens-9781476772066","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
