Description

New York City, NY: Twelve/Hachette Book Group, 2010. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Twelve/Hachette Book Group, 2010. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 435 pages. The author's valedictory memoir. One of the best books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. Features a DJ design by Eric Baker in bold yellow and the blurb by Gore Vidal at the back crossed out in printed red marker. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Christopher Hitchens' "Hitch-22: A Memoir". One of the finest literary, intellectual, and polemical memoirs by a great writer of his life and our time. Hitchens achieved bestseller status with "God Is Not Great". Those who found that account riveting will be even more riveted by the beautifully written memoir - that is, unlike most bestseller-memoirs, it has literary value - of a formidable agent provocateur/intellectual. What sets his memoir apart from all of his previous books is that it shows in a sustained manner (at 435 pages) what an engaging storyteller he could be, whether he was being nasty, naughty, or nice. If God is, in Hitchens' estimation, dangerous and boring at the same time, Hitchens was surely his own best self-creation: "If Hitchens didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to invent him" (Ian McEwan). An absolute "must-have" title for Christopher Hitchens collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in innumerable subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with archival photographs. One of the greatest writer/intellectuals of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS AND GORE VIDAL TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
