description: 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--and perfectly capture the wit and range of intellectual willing to show his teeth in the case of righteousness.
