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).\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.3 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760688791840,"sku":"9781476772073","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1e7837af9a199b523ccdcf08a743064f.webp?v=1780186937","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/and-yet-essays-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
