Hitchens died last week, a year-and-a-half after he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He and I were not lifelong friends or family members, but I got to know him fairly well.

Well! That was trady alright!
Yet still no word from Martin Amis.
I read somewhere that Martin was present when Christopher died. Perhaps he is too grief-stricken to comment.
