  • More about Mortality


Mortality is a collection of writing by Christopher Hitchens that was awarded the Sunday Times Book of the Year, the Mail on Sunday Book of the Year, the Independent Book of the Year, and the Times Book of the Year. It is an honest account of his disease, an examination of cancer etiquette, and the coda to a lifetime of debate and prose.

A Sunday Times Book of the Year, a Mail on Sunday Book of the Year, an Independent Book of the Year, and a The Times Book of the Year, Christopher Hitchens collapsed in his New York hotel room during his US book tour for his memoir, Hitch-22, to excruciating chest and thorax pain. He was being deported from the country of the well, across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady, as he would later write in the first of a series of deeply moving Vanity Fair pieces. Over the next year, he underwent the brutal gamut of modern cancer treatment, enduring catastrophic levels of suffering and eventually losing the ability to speak.

Mortality is the most meditative collection of writing Hitchens has ever produced; at once an unsparingly honest account of the ravages of his disease, an examination of cancer etiquette, and the coda to a lifetime of fierce debate and peerless prose. In this eloquent confrontation with mortality, Hitchens returns a human face to a disease that has become a contemporary cipher of suffering.
