‘As soon as we abandon our own reason’, wrote Bertrand Russell, ‘and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles.’
For over 40 years, Christopher Hitchens has proclaimed truth where others have spun falsehood and written, with passionate commitment, on matters that others fear to broach. This volume of essays encompasses Hitchens’s writing over the past decade on politics, literature and religion.
In Arguably, Hitchens explores a wide range of cultural and political issues, past and present. His fresh perceptions of figures as diverse as Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Rebecca West and Philip Larkin are matched in brilliance by his acerbic discussions and intrepid observations, gathered over a lifetime of travelling and reporting from destinations such as Iran, China and Pakistan.
Hitchens’s life has above all else been one of defiance and wit, courage and humility: in an age of digital punditry and 24-hour hucksterism, he has been a voice of reason amid the clamour, making an indelible mark on politics and literature on both sides of the Atlantic. Arguably is the indispensible companion to the Anglosphere’s pre-eminent political writer.

I may not agree with Hitchens, but always thought provoking.
‘Feel that infuriation? That is how you know its working!’ :-)
Thanks ratsplatter

I was about to say something along the lines of: you can disagree with Hitchens, you can even get irate with him, but you can’t ignore him.
But of course, you can ignore him;- in fact that is the only safe way of coping with his lambent intelligence.
It might make you a bigot, but it’s so comfortable.

Well, your genocide denial & racism certainly do make you a bigot!

Not one of these comments have added anything that would do more than pleasing the speaker probably to an insignificant degree. You mean people don’t agree with this, that or the other?
Hitchen is a great writer. That doesn’t mean he is 100% right 100% of the time. Everybody who would have any interest in reading a guy like him knows this. Why bother commenting? Nothing has been added.
I’d ask myself the same question. In my case, I’m curious about getting a fair answer.

Fair comment, bpvalentine. It does seem like merely a frivolous exercise in ego massage.

Is this book read by Hitchens himself?

@moviebookman If you can’t make it to the second line of the description, this book probably isn’t your cup of tea.
