Partly like I would expect from Christopher Hitchens and partly not. He is less strident and harsh than usual. A gentle Hitchens is a surprise. But he is still unflinching in his analysis of his disease and all the hoopla surrounding his treatment. Good but so short, unfortunately because death t...
For a long while now I've skirted Hitchens' books. Not because I find his conclusions offensive--I am a kindred spirit in that Hitch and I both reject the notion that spirits exist--but because his methods seemed unnecessarily pugnacious. Like many people my age (and younger), I've spent more time t...
Dies ist ein Buch das man wohl kaum kritisieren kann. Das Buch eines sterbenden Mannes, eines Mannes der in seinem Leben viel Aufsehen erregt und für Diskussionen gesorgt hat.

In a short couple of weeks it will be one year ago that Christopher Hitchens finally died from the devastating effects of esophageal lung cancer. December 15, 2011 is a very sad day for me at least.

Really good as it is in his voice (I could hear his voice in my head when I read this thin book.) 2/3The later part he talked about rude persons he met on saying all the wrong th...
It is impossible to imagine nonexistence, so in our imaginations we are all immortal. Stoicism teaches that it is irrational to fear something we cannot change or avoid, but rationality is a learned skill and our consciousness is not rational, so we fear death.I don't believe there is anyone left i...
I’m one of those people who always enjoyed hearing Christopher Hitchens speak—on anything—in his confrontational style, with his humor, his lightning-fast logic, with the breadth and depth of his intellect always on display. I miss Christopher Hitchens. Even when I disagreed with his position (the i...
Wow. He did it. He did dying just as he did living. He faced his mortality with a steadfast gaze, as well as his trademark wit, humour, and incessant curiosity. His real most deep-seated fear was of losing his ability to express himself, of not being able to talk or to write.He does still get the l...
