Süddeutsche zum Tod von Christopher Hitchens: “Anwalt des Teufels”
Im Vatikan gegen Mutter Teresa argumentieren, als Linker für den Irak-Krieg sein, als Atheist Amerika lieben? Nichts leichter als das! Christopher Hitchens war immer dagegen und hatte meistens recht. Das betrunkene, wütende und aufregende Leben des britisch-amerikanischen Intellektuellen ist zu Ende.
Writer Christopher Hitchens Dies At 62
The influential writer and cultural critic Christopher Hitchens died on Thursday at the age of 62 from complications of cancer of the esophagus. Hitchens confronted his disease in part by writing, bringing the same unsparing insight to his mortality that he had directed at so many other subjects.
Over the years, Hitchens’ caustic attention was directed at a broad range of subjects, including Henry Kissinger, Prince Charles, Bob Hope, Michael Moore, the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa.
Christopher Hitchens ist heute gestorben
Christopher Hitchens—the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant—died today at the age of 62. Hitchens was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the spring of 2010, just after the publication of his memoir, Hitch-22, and began chemotherapy soon after. His matchless prose has appeared in Vanity Fair since 1992, when he was named contributing editor.
