Reviews
If Hitchens didn’t exist, we wouldn’t be able to invent him. ― Ian McEwan
Christopher Hitchens is one of the great conversationalists of our age and his wit, style and erudition are brilliantly deployed in this glittering autobiography. Hitch-22 sparkles with funny stories, treasurable quotations, witty apercus and deft descriptions. ― Sunday Times
A pert yet elegantly written memoir. ― Sunday Telegraph
A fascinating account of the influences – political, cultural and philosophical – on Hitchens’s intellectual development… A funny, sad, incisive, and serious narrative… He is our son and one of our most gifted writers. We should take pride in that and be busting our guts to get him back. ― Spectator
