Ballard, \u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePhilip Larkin\u003c\/b\u003e. They are matched in brilliance by his pungent discussions and intrepid observations, gathered from a lifetime of traveling and reporting from such destinations as Iran, China, and Pakistan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hitchens's directness, elegance, lightly carried erudition, critical and psychological insight, humor, and sympathy-applied as they are here to a dazzling variety of subjects-all set a standard for the essayist that has rarely been matched in our time. What emerges from this indispensable volume is an intellectual self-portrait of a writer with an exemplary steadiness of purpose and a love affair with the delights and seductions of the English language, a man anchored in a profound and humane vision of the human longing for reason and justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hitchens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1455502782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455502783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/16\/2012 pg. 28","brand":"Christopher Hitchens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048208527615,"sku":"9781455502783","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72b00919-47c6-432d-8245-d6ef8c543149.jpg?v=1684994495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arguably-christopher-hitchens-9781455502783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
