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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hitchens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476772061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476772066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2016 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2016 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015","brand":"Christopher Hitchens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094140932351,"sku":"9781476772066","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc0d396a-36ae-4bdd-b689-8f716a73e3d6.jpg?v=1724843801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-yet-christopher-hitchens-9781476772066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
