“Warts and all” may be a cliché but is also the goal anyone trying to memorialize Hitchens should aim for.
@parabasis He was a good literary critic, cosmopolitan, well-travelled, lively and fun to be around.

@HeerJeet interesting, most of that has little to do with him as a writer/personality which is the only way I know him. -
@parabasis As a writer and debater he could be very eloquent (leaving the occasional plagiarism to one side).

@HeerJeet which might be why my opinion of him is so overwhelmingly negative. -
@parabasis Yeah, a lot of the celebrations of Hitchens came from people who knew him or at least met him. He was a lively guy.
