About this listen

In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls, boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his life.

Hitch-22 is, by turns, moving and funny, charming and infuriating, enraging and inspiring. It is an indispensable companion to the life and thought of our pre-eminent political writer.

Narrated by Christopher Hitchens himself shortly before his untimely death, this is a poignant listening experience.

it's somewhat soothing in my sorrow to hear his voice.
it's strange to miss someone you never met or had a conversation with. maybe it's because i came late to his work and life.
tenten. will listen again. and again. &again&again.

I was not disappointed. my life now involves driving and so I feared I'd never get around to finishing it. but hearing it from Christopher himself was way better than I could have imagined it.

Finally finished this book via audiobook

A number of times I found myself brought to tears, not necessarily by the given passage, but just from the remembrance that though I’m hearing his voice the man is gone. Never to speak another word again.

Thank you for sharing your story Christopher, I feel like I know you a little better.

You are certainly missed

So sad it’s now over.
