Please note the change to the advertised event: due to Christopher Hitchens’ frail health, Stephen Fry will now be talking with friends Richard Dawkins, Martin Amis and Christopher Buckley about topics close to their friend’s heart.
“If Hitchens didn’t exist, we wouldn’t be able to invent him.” Ian McEwan
For over 40 year Christopher Hitchens has written and spoken with passionate commitment on matters that others fear to broach. His life has been one of defiance, wit and humility. Now his life is threatened by cancer but his devotion to the truth and his extraordinary courage are undiminished. In a change to the advertised event, due to Hitchen’s being ill with pneumonia, friends Richard Dawkins, Martin Amis and Christopher Buckley will be in conversation with Stephen Fry on topics close to Hitchens’ heart. Fry and Dawkins will be at the Festival Hall while Amis and Buckley will be via satellite links. Don’t miss this chance to hear several of the great public intellectuals of our age discussing politics, literature and, as Hitchens puts it, “the things that make life worth defending.”
