Welcome to the WBZ book Club. I'm Jordan Rich Christopher Hitchins. He passed
away in twenty eleven, but as philosophy and writings do live on in a
new book called A Hitch in Time Reflections Ready for Reconsideration, and critics are
calling it quintessential Hitchens. British born, he graduated from Oxford with a degree
in philosophy, politics and economics. Coming to the United States in the early
eighties, writing for The Nation and Vanity Fair, Christopher Hitchins was definitely opinionated,
and that's putting it mildly. Considered one of the four horsemen of the
New Atheism movement, constantly engaging in debate with other intellectuals on college campuses,
online and on broadcast TV, and when it came to politics, Hitchins was
an equal opportunity critic of both conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans, Exceptionally
eloquent, with a flair for biting satire and the lyrical use of the English
language that he loved so well. He could make you furious, but you'd
have to respect the intellect. A hitchin Time Reflections Ready for Reconsideration. By
the late Christopher Hitchins, The Book Club. WZ Boston's news radio
