Produktinformationen zu „Unhitched “
Among the forgettable ranks of ex-Leftists, Christopher Hitchens stands out as someone determined to stand out. Rejecting the well-worn paths of hard-right evangelism and capitalist realism, he identified with nothing outside his own idiosyncrasies. Hitchens was a recognizable historical type - the apostate leftist - and as such presents a rewarding, entertaining and an enlightening case study.
Klappentext zu „Unhitched “
Irascible and forthright, Christopher Hitchens stood out as a man determined to do just that. In his younger years, a career-minded socialist, he emerged from the smoke of 9/11 a neoconservative "Marxist," an advocate of America's invasion of Iraq filled with passionate intensity. Throughout his life, he played the role of universal gadfly, whose commitment to the truth transcended the party line as well as received wisdom. But how much of this was imposture? In this highly critical study, Richard Seymour casts a cold eye over the career of the "Hitch" to uncover an intellectual trajectory determined by expediency and a fetish for power.As an orator and writer, Hitchens offered something unique and highly marketable. But for all his professed individualism, he remains a recognizable historical type - the apostate leftist. Unhitched presents a rewarding and entertaining case study, one that is also a cautionary tale for our times.
