More About This Book

Overview

Over the past few decades, the bestselling author of Hitch-22 has crisscrossed the globe debating religious scholars, Catholic clergy, rabbis, and devout Christians on the existence of God—appearances that have attracted thousands of people on both sides of the issue. He has been invited to talk shows and events to discuss everything from the death of Jerry Falwell to the sainthood of Mother Teresa, from U.S. policy in the Middle East to the dangers of religious fundamentalism and beyond. And he is always armed with pithy discourse that is as intelligent as it is quotable.

The Quotable Hitchens gathers for the first time the eminent journalist, public intellectual, and all-around provocateur Christopher Hitchen's most scathing, inflammatory, hilarious, and clear-cut commentary from the course of his storied career. Drawn from his many TV appearances, debates, lectures, interviews, articles, and books, the quotations are arranged alphabetically by subject—from atheism and alcoholism to George Orwell and Bertrand Russell, from Islamofascism and Iraq to smoking and sex.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

"The struggle for a free intelligence has always been a struggle between the ironic and the literal mind." In that struggle, Anglo-American journalist Christopher Hitchens (The Missionary Position; God Is Not Great; Hitch-22) has always been in support of the ironic mind. In book after book, this spirited contrarian has aired his views with a fervency and rhetorical brilliance that has sometimes silenced, at least briefly, his numerous detractors. This thoroughly arresting anthology of his writings reminds one of a quotation he credits to his mother: "The only unforgiveable sin is to be boring." This opus would have made his mom proud. A paperback original.

    Hitchens at his best!

    Some of the iconoclast's best demolitions and most poignant ideas collected in a single book. This is for anybody who cares for beautifully clear and direct truths over the usual fluffy and vapid media blather.

    Highly Recommended-A Must Have

    This review is short and quick--This book is a must. It's a delight to read such a beautiful writer in short segments of time. The book is alphabetized by subject matter and the reader can pick and choose according to whim. A perfect travel companion.
