Ballard,\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePhilip Larkin\u003c\/b\u003e. They are matched in brilliance by his pungent discussions and intrepid observations, gathered from a lifetime of traveling and reporting from such destinations as Iran, China, and Pakistan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hitchens's directness, elegance, lightly carried erudition, critical and psychological insight, humor, and sympathy-applied as they are here to a dazzling variety of subjects-all set a standard for the essayist that has rarely been matched in our time. What emerges from this indispensable volume is an intellectual self-portrait of a writer with an exemplary steadiness of purpose and a love affair with the delights and seductions of the English language, a man anchored in a profound and humane vision of the human longing for reason and justice.","brand":"Twelve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894650925285,"sku":"NP9781455502783","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/6ddb42ab-bfbf-4268-aea1-ab020036d119.jpg?v=1767826487","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/arguably-isbn-9781455502783","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
