Über diesen Titel

Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq.

He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide.

In other words, Christopher Hitchens contains multitudes. He sees all sides of an argument. And he believes the personal is political. This is the story of his life, lived large.

Kritikerstimmen

"Hitchens also proves to be more than a capable reader; his wit, erudition, and passionate unbelief could not have been conveyed as compellingly by a surrogate. Highly recommended for all general collections." (Library Journal on God Is Not Great)

"As narrator, he contributes a pleasantly moderated voice and a listener-friendly British accent." (AudioFile Magazine on God Is Not Great)

Whoever wrote the blurb for this book has not listened to it or read it, because Hitchens does not believe the personal is the political. He despises the very notion.

Don't believe the blurb

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
I chose this audiobook especially because it was read by the author, as I enjoy listening to his voice almost as much as I enjoy hearing what he has to say. While the content of the book delivers on the expectations that the name Hitchens raises, the grisly audio quality of the recording makes it hard, or at some places even impossible to follow the spoken text. That makes the listening experience a partially frustrating one, having to pause and rewind often just to get the point that is being made.

Excellent book marred by recording
