Synopsis

“If Hitchens didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to invent him.” ―Ian McEwan
 
A stylish new paperback edition of HITCH-22, the incendiary memoir of a brilliant contrarian and one of Hitchens’ most wry and provocative works.

In this timeless and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls, boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his life.

HITCH-22 is, by turns, moving and funny, charming and infuriating, enraging and inspiring. It is an indispensable companion to the life and thought of our pre-eminent political writer.
