CHRISTOPER HITCHENS: "AN IMPOSSIBLE ACT TO FOLLOW"

 

From the Telegraph: "Christopher Hitchens, the influential writer who died last year, approached the end with his customary wit and charisma intact – and his wife always by his side. Carol Blue recalls their final months together."

Plus a related note from the archives of Beyond the Underground: "A Detour for Shameless Name-Dropping: Christopher Hitchens," in which I recall a memorable night of drinking with Hitchens in St. Louis.
