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).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"And Yet...: Essays | Christopher Hitchens | Hardcover | 9781476772066 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1779835","offer_id":49947747483800,"sku":"1779835","price":12.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61uJs08b-GL.jpg?v=1789780593","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/and-yet-essays","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
