And Yet is a collection of Hitchens's essays that were published posthumously in 2010. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from politics and religion to literature and culture. They are all written with Hitchens's characteristic flair, and they offer a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important intellectuals of our time.

One of the things that makes Hitchens's writing so compelling is his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. He was not afraid to speak his mind, even when his views were unpopular. In And Yet, Hitchens takes on some of the most sacred cows of our time, including religion, patriotism, and the welfare state.

Hitchens was a lifelong atheist, and he was one of the most vocal critics of religion in the public sphere. In his essays, he argues that religion is a dangerous and divisive force that has no place in a modern society. He also criticizes the religious right for its attempts to impose its morality on the rest of society.

Hitchens was also a staunch defender of free speech. He believed that everyone has the right to express their opinions, even if those opinions are offensive or unpopular. In And Yet, he defends the right of free speech, even for those who he disagrees with.

Hitchens was a complex and contradictory figure. He was a brilliant writer, but he could also be arrogant and abrasive. He was a lifelong atheist, but he also had a deep appreciation for religion. He was a defender of free speech, but he also believed that there are some limits to what can be said.

Despite his flaws, Hitchens was one of the most important intellectuals of our time. He was a brilliant writer who was not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. His essays are a valuable contribution to our understanding of the world, and they will continue to be read and debated for years to come.
