Christopher Hitchens has been longlisted for the Orwell prize for a second year running. His final volume of essays, Arguably, joins 17 other works selected by judges from a record submission of 264 books. Hitchens, who died in December last year, made the 2011 shortlist for his memoir, Hitch-22, but missed out on the prize.
This year’s longlisted work, published just two months before he died, is a collection of essays from across his career, covering politics, literature and religion. Jean Seaton, director of the prize, believes the book contains “one of his greatest essays – atypically modest, typically brilliant, humbling – about the relationship between a writer and his voice.” She said: “Hitch had just lost the capacity to speak.
Yet in Arguably, the book that towers over our longlist, the sound of Hitch thinking, arguing and opining is as clear as a bell. Even if I really do think (unlike Hitch) that women can be funny (the misogynist rat) – that’s the point of it all – you just still want to argue with the man. Writers’ voices endure.” The prizes, which include catergories for journalism and blogging, are awarded to the work which comes closest to George Orwell’s ambition “to make political writing into an art”. Each winner receives £3,000 and a plaque bearing Orwell’s quote. Anatol Lieven was also longlisted for a second time, having first appeared in 1994.This year’s shortlists are released next month, and the winners of each category will be announced on 23 May.
