Quotable Hitchens From Alcohol to Zionism: From Alcohol to Zionism--The Very Best of Christopher Hitchens - Softcover
Synopsis
Over the past few decades, the bestselling author of Hitch-22 has crisscrossed the globe debating religious scholars, Catholic clergy, rabbis, and devout Christians on the existence of God-appearances that have attracted thousands of people on both sides of the issue. He has been invited to talk shows and events to discuss everything from the death of Jerry Falwell to the sainthood of Mother Teresa, from U.S. policy in the Middle East to the dangers of religious fundamentalism and beyond. And he is always armed with pithy discourse that is as intelligent as it is quotable.
The Quotable Hitchens gathers for the first time the eminent journalist, public intellectual, and all-around provocateur Christopher Hitchen's most scathing, inflammatory, hilarious, and clear-cut commentary from the course of his storied career. Drawn from his many TV appearances, debates, lectures, interviews, articles, and books, the quotations are arranged alphabetically by subject-from atheism and alcoholism to George Orwell and Bertrand Russell, from Islamofascism and Iraq to smoking and sex.

Review
(A) display of the highest order of the potency and salability of pithiness. A journalist first, but also a rhetorician and provocateur, Mr Hitchens's oeuvre is indeed highly quotable, as this compendium illustrates. Culled by Windsor Mann from Mr Hitchens's essays, articles and TV appearances, this book is a gleeful array of biting quips, twisty barbs and some disarmingly well-turned phrases.
--The Economist
Quotable Hitchens presents a cavalcade of Vanity Fair s notorious provocateur-in-chief Christopher Hitchens s finest flaming arrows, mud balls, and political grenades. --Vanity Fair, May 2011
Without troubling to do the research, you could safely say that Hitchens, formerly the TLS s American correspondent, has a view on everything. Now you can do the research. --Times Literary Supplement, UK, 3/18/11
