Christopher Hitchens is a popular author, columnist, editor, and book critic. He writes regularly for numerous publications, including The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, Granta, and Harper's. His most recent books are Blood, Class and Empire and A Long Short War. He lives in Washington, DC.
In Letters to a Young Contrarian, best-selling author and world-class provocateur Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, and angry young (wo)men. Exploring the entire range of "contrary positions" from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt, Hitchens introduces the next generation to the minds and the misfits who inspire him --- invoking such mentors as Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant traditions across the ideological spectrum. There is no one writing today with a greater understanding of the importance of disagreement --- to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress, to democracy itself.

評分刺頭希欽斯:無限轉宗 文|DAGAR 是做一個乖寶寶,還是做個叛逆鬼?花季雨季叛逆鬼不少,最終都該做個乖寶寶。希欽斯被稱為少有的狷狂公知,被他瞄準的都是特蕾莎修女、剋林頓、基辛格、戴安娜這些大人物及一些大事,拿不齣實打實的證據、敏銳的洞見炮打大人物,他可狷狂不起來...
評分(轉自《經濟觀察報》,雲也退先生的書評) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫畫傢們,不是因為他們畫瞭給自己惹來殺身大禍的那些漫畫。前些天,在得知這份雜誌訂戶猛增,全球銷量數百萬份時,正巧看到一幅漫畫:雲端立著男男女女五個人,下邊的大地上,每個人拿著一份畫報。五個人都很...
評分我記得我是在Bill Maher的節目上知道Hitchens,他給人感覺就是脾氣古怪,很愛得罪人,很憤怒,有時候會講一些很精彩的話,但總體來說他好像沒有一個係統來錶達一個比較複雜的思想。 這本書其實就好像他人給我的感覺,這本書的內容不是教你如果做一個contrarian,而是講做contr...

讀到最後飽含熱淚:Shun the “transcendent” and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself and others. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity...
評分Always look to the language. Question the obvious and the given. Keep your powder dry, your eyes open, and your mind skeptical.
評分讀到一半有重新找到人生導師的感覺,繼續讀下去Community裏Britta的形象來迴飄。所以雖然很想,但還是沒辦法給五星。Hitchens應該被更多的人知道。
