On June 8, 2010, while on a book tour for his bestselling memoir, Hitch-22 , Christopher Hitchens was stricken in his New York hotel room with excruciating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series of award-winning columns for Vanity Fair, he suddenly found himself being deported "from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady." 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.
Throughout the course of his ordeal battling esophageal cancer, Hitchens adamantly and bravely refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with both eyes open. In this riveting 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. By turns personal and philosophical, Hitchens embraces the full panoply of human emotions as cancer invades his body and compels him to grapple with the enigma of death.
MORTALITY is the exemplary story of one man's refusal to cower in the face of the unknown, as well as a searching look at the human predicament. Crisp and vivid, veined throughout with penetrating intelligence, Hitchens's testament is a courageous and lucid work of literature, an affirmation of the dignity and worth of man.

評分“最狷狂的作家”克里斯托弗·希钦斯的“死亡”随笔 克里斯托弗·希钦斯供职的《名利场》杂志有一个著名的栏目“普鲁斯特问卷”,其中有一个问题是“你愿意怎么死去”?大部分人都希望安然、无痛苦地死去。加拿大女作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德说:“死于没有痛苦的疾病”,美国...
評分《人之将死》记录的是克里斯托弗•希钦斯一生中最后的一段时光。不同于《相约星期二》中老莫里的坦然,也不同于太宰治在《人间失格》中的凄美,希钦斯在这段时光中依旧充满着斗志。只不过这一次,他的对手——死亡——是无法战胜的。 希钦斯一生都是个斗士。号称是当代最狷...
好桑感
评分Hitchens生前在名利場的最後一個專欄編輯而成,從無神論寫到水刑,仿佛晚期癌癥隻是一個新的談話的角度。結尾一篇零碎的筆記,未完成,翻過去就是太太寫的後記,比Hitchens自己的文筆還要好,一樣堅韌,直到最後的最後。
评分To the dumb question "Why me?" the cosmos barely bothers to return the reply: Why not?
评分好桑感
评分身患絕癥依然幽默風趣辛辣固執到底,這就是Hitchens的魅力
