Description

Christopher Hitchens's Mortality is a poignant and thought-provoking account of his battle with esophageal cancer. After being diagnosed, Hitchens continued to write with remarkable bravery and intelligence, producing a series of columns that showcase his capacity for superior work even in the face of extreme illness. Throughout his ordeal, Hitchens confronts the taboos surrounding death and disease, and explores how illness can transform our experience of the world. This is a deeply personal and philosophical work, as Hitchens grapples with the enigma of death and the human condition. A courageous and lucid work of literature, Mortality is a testament to the dignity and worth of human life, even in the face of mortality.
