Christopher Hitchens is the most extraordinary writer. I would say the premier living essayist in the English language. He can write on an amazing array of subjects with extraordinary knowledge. Nobody has his range or his eloquence.

My friend Christopher Hitchens is a writer of truly incandescent prose ... one of the best writers to ever draw breath.
Christopher Hitchens
His unique importance in the history of English letters comes from his conviction that a life without knowledge or reflection was unworthy of respect, and his determination to bring the thought of the past within the range of his subjects' understanding.
