A STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER OF TWELVE
We are deeply saddened by last night’s news announcing the death of Christopher Hitchens. It has been a rare and great honor to work with Christopher as the publisher of his most recent books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller god is Not Great; Hitch-22: A Memoir; Arguably: Essays, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2011 by The New York Times Book Review; and a forthcoming memoir, Mortality, based on his series of award-winning Vanity Fair essays chronicling his ordeal with cancer.
