Reviews
"Hitchens's writing is tough, heartfelt, coruscating, funny ? and imbued with the understanding that the task in hand is an important one."- The Times "I have been asked whether I wish to nominate a successor, an inheritor, a dauphin or delfino . I have decided to name Christopher Hitchens."-Gore Vidal "A Tom Paine for our troubled times ... He picks up the sword and mantle of E. P. Thompson, and carries them off with swashbuckling impertinence, valiant for truth, last in the line of English gentlemen-intellectuals."- Independent " Unacknowledged Legislation is a big, handsome book containing some of the best, most polished and wittiest writing you are likely to encounter this or any other year ... Gore Vidal should be so lucky to have this boy for an heir."-John Banville, Irish Times "Christopher Hitchens is indeed hit-man to the intelligentsia. If there is an inflated ego to puncture, he has the red-hot needle to do it."- Sunday Times "Lionel Trilling once observed in his diaries that, to his genuine surprise, he was no longer simply a critic of literature but had become a fact of literature himself ... Christopher Hitchens, political and literary journalist extraordinaire, should now be considered a fact of political and cultural reality. His astounding capacity for work has produced a body of work; his vastly ranging, deeply driven devastations and illuminations make up a reliable outlook on the world."-Lee Siegel, Los Angeles Times "He is a loose cannon, a sharp wit, an ironist, a polemicist of exceptional talent, and editor's dream."- Times Literary Supplement, 'eoeA Tom Paine for our troubled times ... He picks up the sword and mantle of E. P. Thompson, and carries them off with swashbuckling impertinence, valiant for truth, last in the line of English gentlemen-intellectuals.'e�

Synopsis
Hitchens provides rich evidence that his own sallies as a political journalist are nourished by a close engagement with a broad sweep of novelists., In this discussion of novels and their authors, Hitchens takes inspiration from Shelley's description of the poet as an unacknowledged legislator and shows that, while the encounter between writers and those in power is not always smooth, it generally embodies a dialectic that is well worth pursuit. Hitchens provides evidence that his own sallies as a political journalist, deployed with the publication of No One Left to Lie To, are nourished by a close engagement with a broad sweep of novelists. Here, Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal's encounters with American revolution are scrutinized in interview; George Orwell's role as a fulcrum between left and right is carefully weighed and an appraisal of the fatwah issued against Salman Rushdie becomes a meditation on the West's misunderstood encounter with Islam., A celebration of Percy Shelley.s assertion that .poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world., these thirty-plus essays on writers from Oscar Wilde to Salman Rushdie dispel the myth of politics as a stone tied to the neck of literature; Norman Podhoretz.s .bloody crossroads.. Instead Hitchens argues that when all parties in the state were agreed on a matter, it was the individual pens that created the space for a true moral argument.
