Christopher Hitchens & Patton Oswalt on Hitch-22 and Zombie Spaceship Wasteland (2010)

Hitch-22: A Memoir are the memoirs written by author and journalist Christopher Hitchens. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=tra0c7-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=b8a1e3473a9fc60428b9dda991cdfea9&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=books&keywords=hitch%2022

The book was published in May 2010 by Atlantic Books in the UK and June 2010 by Twelve, an imprint of Hachette Book Group USA, and was later nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award. The planned worldwide tour for the book was cut short later the same month during the American leg so that the author could begin treatment for newly diagnosed oesophageal cancer. Through the book's publisher and in the magazine for which he was a regular contributing editor, Vanity Fair, Hitchens announced: 'I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.'
