Hitchens recently canceled his book tour for Hitch-22 to undergo chemotherapy. Hitchens, a long time smoker, was recently diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus.
“I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.”
- Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens is also known to have written such books as God is Not Great and The Portable Atheist and is a well known orator on the subject of religious criticism.
