Anthologized here for the first time, A Hitch in Time is a choice selection of Christopher Hitchens's finest reviews, diary entries, and essays-along with a smattering of ferocious letters.

A Hitch in Time is a banquet of entertaining stories ranging from his thoughts on Salman Rushdie to being spanked by Margaret Thatcher in The House of Lords, and the night he took his son to the Oscars. Along with an introduction by James Wolcott, A Hitch in Time recaptures the brilliance of Hitchens-barnstorming, cauterizing, and ultimately uncontainable.
