Summary

"On June 8, 2010, while on a book tour ... Christopher Hitchens was stricken in his New York hotel room with excruciating pain in his chest and thorax.... Over the next eighteen months, until his death in Houston on December 15, 2011, he wrote constantly and brilliantly on politics and culture, astonishing readers with his capacity for superior work even in extremis.... In this ... account of his affliction, Hitchens poignantly describes the torments of illness, discusses its taboos, and explores how disease transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us."--Container
