Unhitched (book)

First edition (pub. Verso Books)

Unhitched: The Trial of Christopher Hitchens is a 2013 book about Christopher Hitchens by the British writer Richard Seymour.[1][2] The book focuses on Hitchens's work on religion, his engagement with British politics and his alleged embrace of American imperialism.[3] In January 2013, Seymour said of Unhitched, "It is written in the spirit of a trial ... I do attempt to get a sense of the complexity and gifts of the man, but it is very clearly a prosecution, and you can guess my conclusion."[4]
