Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie

Hitch-22—the feisty new memoir by Christopher Hitchens—offers a tour of the British author’s intellectual life so far, complete with reflections on war, D.C. politics and women. Whatever he’s talking about, he’s opinionated, funny and articulate. Expect his exchange with Salman Rushdie, another man known to take a few controversial positions, to be lively and spiked with good-natured disagreements.
