“Christopher Hitches has the eye of a painter and the literary skill of a novelist. He infuses his essays with the same narrative thrust that can be found in the most addictive fiction.”

The man has an opinion on everything—literally everything from the genius of Charles Dickens to the virtues of masturbation."
