The favorite "good-bad book" (to use G.K. If you're interested in Hitchens trivia, "Hitch 22" is loaded. In fact, there is barely any mention of his three children, only a passing mention of his current wife, and none at all of his younger brother, Peter, a right-wing columnist in England. His icon, George Orwell, said that "Autobiography is not to be trusted unless it reveals something disgraceful," and Hitchens fails to mention that his first wife was pregnant with his child when he left her. The book certainly isn't an autobiography. In interviews, Christopher Hitchens - pre-9/11 journalist and public intellectual turned celebrity journalist, TV talk show pundit and professional atheist - is calling " Hitch-22" "a selective memoir." And while all memoirs, of course, are selective, Hitchens' is really selective.
