PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Charles Duff (1894-1966) served as an officer in the British Merchant Navy during World War I and then in the intelligence division of the Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service. After retiring, he taught linguistics and languages in London and Singapore while writing travel guides, histories, satires, and a series of textbooks. Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a British-American journalist and social critic. Known for his confrontational style and contrarian views on a range of social issues, Hitchens was a frequent contributor to The Nation, The Atlantic, The Times Literary Supplement and Vanity Fair. Hitchens recounts his struggle with esophageal cancer in Mortality, which was published in 2012.
In its literary aspect it is deftly done. Smoothly, earnestly, unctuously the author carries on his defense of hanging as a fine art and his plea for bigger and better and more frequent hangings, never for a moment forgetting his pose or dropping his disguise, and never giving the reader the least ground for suspecting his good faith...He has made for the crusade against capital punishment a very effective stroke. --The New York Times A minor classic. --Dylan Thomas Likely to upset the equanimity of upholders of capital punishment far more than any ponderous tome of high explosive argument or invective. --The Observer
