Vale, Christopher Hitchens

In Memoriam:

Christopher Eric Hitchens
1949-2011

Love him or hate him, this hard-living contrarian, who passionately crossed intellectual swords with both the flabby and rigid minded, was never boring or safe. The world sorely needs more such informed literary provocateurs who do not shy from a rousing stoush with orthodoxy.
