Christopher Hitchens: Relentless, exasperating, and brilliant.
“Above, all, Christopher hated bullies. Nobody likes them, of course, but Hitchens really hated them. Most of the bullies he wrote about deployed the apparatus of the military or the state to achieve their ends, but his best bully story—really, the best bully story I’ve ever heard from anyone—was about the British public- (i.e., private-) school kind.”
-Timothy Noah, “Hitch, 1949-2011.”
