Stay ConnectedChristopher Hitchens, one of the most controversial and compelling voices in Anglo-American journalism, has twice visited the Hauenstein Center — once to give a talk on Thomas Jefferson, and once to debate his brother, Peter Hitchens, on subjects ranging from religion to the Iraq War.
Hitchens has written twenty books, including biographies of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and George Orwell, as well as scathing critiques of Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, and Mother Teresa. Most recently, he wrote the book on atheism, “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” and edited “The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever.” A contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a frequent commentator on C-SPAN, he also writes regularly for The Atlantic, The New York Times Book Review, The Nation, Harper’s Magazine, Slate, and The New York Review of Books.
