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.
