Christopher Hitchens LIVE: Hitch 22: A Memoir
Join the Center for Inquiry DC for a discussion with outspoken public intellectual Christopher Hitchens about his new book, Hitch 22: A Memoir .
English-born and American by adoption, bohemian, all atheist and partly Jewish, Christopher Hitchens has held to a consistent thread of principle whether opposing war in Vietnam or supporting intervention in Iraq. As a foreign correspondent in some of the world’s nastiest places, a lecturer and teacher and an esteemed literary critic, Hitchens manifests a style that is ironic, witty, and tough-minded while his contradictions contain multitudes.

Times
and chief foreign correspondent for the
Daily Express
. After emigrating to the United States in 1981, he wrote the “Minority Report” column for
The Nation
. Since 1992, he has been columnist and contributing editor at
Vanity Fair
and, at different times, Washington editor and columnist for
Harper’s
magazine and American columnist and correspondent for the
Spectator
, the
New Statesman
