Pray for Christopher Hitchens, that the God whose truth he suppresses would save him. Hitchens released this statement through his publisher, noting the suspension of his Hitch-22: A Memoir book tour:
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.
The LA Times writes that this chemotherapy treatment is due to a diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
