"From Hitchens's earliest interviews to his final published interview with Richard Dawkins just before his death, this collection covers the brilliant career of Christopher Hitchens and tackles everything from atheism, his controversial support of the Iraq War, to America's march toward theocracy."--Provided by publisher. - Random House, Inc.
This selection of interviews showcases the remarkable career of one of this generationâs greatest and most divisive thinkersâfeaturing a foreword by Stephen Fry.
Â
â . . . pulls together some of Hitchensâs greatest dialogues, each sparkling with intelligence and wit.â âNew York Times Book Review
If someone says Iâm doing this out of faith, I say, Why donât you do it out of conviction?
Â
One of his generationâs greatest public intellectuals, and perhaps its fiercest, Christopher Hitchens was a brilliant interview subject. This collectionâwhich spans from his early prominence as a hero of the Left to his controversial support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan toward the end of his lifeâshowcases Hitchâs trademark wit on subjects as diverse as his mistrust of the media, his love of literature, his dislike of the Clintons, and his condemnation of all things religious.
Â
Beginning with an introduction and tribute from his longtime friend Stephen Fry, this collection culminates in Hitchensâs fearless final interview with Richard Dawkins, which shows a man as unafraid of death as he was of everything in life.
