“ The Auden/Kallman relationship had this to be said for it. It affirmed that it's better to be blatant than latent. “

Introducing Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens (1949–2011) was a British-American author, journalist, and public intellectual known for his sharp wit, eloquent prose, and fearless critique of religion, politics, and culture. A prolific writer, Hitchens contributed to major publications such as The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, and The Nation, and authored several books, including God Is Not Great (2007), a controversial best-seller that critiques organized religion. An outspoken atheist and advocate for free speech, Hitchens became famous for his debates on theology and philosophy, often challenging religious leaders and public figures. His political views evolved over time, shifting from support for socialism to advocating interventionist foreign policies. Hitchens' bold style, intellectual rigor, and polemical nature made him a powerful and polarizing figure in contemporary thought.
