About this book

'Mortality' is Christopher Hitchens's unsparingly honest account of the ravages of cancer, an examination of cancer etiquette, and the coda to a lifetime of fierce debate and peerless prose. In this moving and personal account of illness, Hitchens confronts his own death and remains combative, eloquent and dignified to the very last.
