The late Christopher Hitchens was a drink sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay, of course. But one we needed.
His 'Letters to a Young Contrarian'(2001), though filled with himself[0], remains a heartfelt read for anyone going about the world in their own way. If you can get a used copy, preferably filled with marginalia, treasure it, add your own thoughts, and pass it along. The always unique comments railing against Hitch will be worth the effort. More so when all agree.
Paul may wish to pick up a copy, though I suspect he just needs to re-read the one on his shelf.
