Christopher Hitchens has announced that he has esophageal cancer and needs to begin chemotherapy. I am very sorry to hear this, Hitch is a brilliant writer and tireless battler against hypocrisy and sham in all their forms. I am currently reading his memoir, Hitch-22, a glorious, hilarious, beautifully written report on his life thus far.
You are not dismissed, Mr. Hitchens. Great work remains to be done, as you know better than most. Get well soon.
