The writer and critic Christopher Hitchens, who died Thursday from complications of esophageal cancer, was remembered as a man of intellectual bravery, uncompromising ideals, and prodigious appetites.
Hitchens’ career was a storied one. He wrote for The Nation, Harper’s, The Times Literary Supplement, and The Atlantic, among many other publications. He landed at Vanity Fair as a contributing editor in 1992. He authored 17 books.
“There will never be another like Christopher. A man of ferocious intellect, who was as vibrant on the page as he was at the bar,” wrote his friend and Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.
