Nobody wants to admit that Hitchens was just the inferior atheist parody of Chesterton. He, of course, never wanted to be this. He WANTED to be Orwell. He also kind of wanted to be Camus. But in the end, with his eating, his drinking, his smoking, his wittiness, his love of debate, and his overall goal of simultaneously entertaining and informing, Chesterton is the figure from the early 20th Century whom he most resembles. And even then, he's a really, really shitty copy of Chesterton.

>> No.13795894

>>13795641
This.

Hitchens never wrote a single novel. Please don't take him as a serious writer. He's just an attention grabbing atheist.

he's a rhetoricist
any of the retards you quoted were probably shit at talking. chris probably wasn't saying anything new or original in the same sense as writers are able to behind their typewriters but he got the effective points across with his cigarette smoke and pussy-magnet rhetoric.
i'll be straight if you hate him you're some gay right winger.

Nope. I just like serious writers. Hitchens certainly was not one. You can call him whatever you want.

...and btw he loathed being called Chris.

Being an atheist, a hedonist, a neocon, and having a brother who is more based than him.
