Didn’t agree with Hitchens 100% of the time but I really miss reading what he had to write.
He was a rare genius. I hadn’t known about this—I think they kept it quite secret, since Rushdie was going to be there.
Ditto. Really miss his take on everything other than religion. Did he have a conversion toward Jesus during the last months of his life? That is my recollection. But I may be mis-remembering.
