Recenzii
“A
nice
book
for
the
bedside
table—my
copy
is
already
getting
dog-
eared…The
most
scathing,
inflammatory,
hilarious
and
(fill
in
the
blank)
commentaries
on
life
in
all
its
manifestations.”
Forbes
Magazine,6/2/11
“[O]ne
of
those
books
that
you
plan
to
devote
five
minutes
to
but
end
up
burning
two
hours.
It’s
a
perfect
summer
read—you
can
pick
it
up
and
put
it
down
as
you
quaff
martinis
and
roll
around
the
beach
like
Deborah
Kerr
and
Burt
Lancaster
inFrom
Here
to
Eternity.”
The
Economist,6/1/11
“[T]his
book
is
a
gleeful
array
of
biting
quips,
twisty
barbs
and
some
disarmingly
well-turned
phrases….the
book
is
amusing,
and
a
poignant
reminder
of
the
man’s
rare
talents.”
BuffaloNews,5/29/11
“[S]plendiferous
compendium
of
Hitchens.”
WashingtonTimes,5/24/11
“At
first
glance,
the
book
reminds
one
ofBartlett’s
Familiar
Quotations,
but
this
volume
is
something
more
personal,
more
outre
and
more
funny.
Smartly
organized
by
subject,
it
is
a
book
to
be
enjoyed
both
as
a
long
visit
with
the
incomparable
social
critic
and
as
a
quick
reference.”
Vanity Fair,May 2011
“Quotable Hitchenspresents a cavalcade ofVanity Fair’snotorious provocateur-in-chief Christopher Hitchens’s finest flaming arrows, mud balls, and political grenades.”

“Without troubling to do the research, you could safely say that Hitchens, formerly theTLS’sAmerican correspondent, has a view on everything. Now youcando the research.”

most
memorable
of
Hitchens’
work
in
an
alphabetized
guide

“The
book
is
great
fun,
whether
sampled
by
dipping
in
or
swallowed
whole
and
digested
slowly,
as
a
snake
might
do…The
Quotable
Hitchensis
and
will
remain
an
excellent
means
by
which
those
of
us
who
have
long
valued
his
work
can
celebrate
it
at
a
moment’s
notice
and
those
new
to
his
work
now
have
a
new
source
of
material
for
their
Facebook
Page
or
for
emblazoning
on
T-shirts.”

“A
collection

gem-like
insights
pared
from
the
public

and
author’s
many
books
and
other
writings.”

“It often seems as if Christopher Hitchens has spent his life writing and speaking with a collection such as this in mind.”

“Over
300
pages
of…verbal
gold…Anyone
interested
in
the
art
of
turning
a
good
phrase
in
the
English
language
will
want
to
give
this
volume
a
look.”

“It's
a
stimulant

a
tonic

spirit.
