Whoever said Hitchens was marketing himself was making an understatement. I think he actually believes this romantic image of himself as the "Contrarian", a sort of Prometheus damned to bring the truth to mankind.

How arrogant of him to even name his other book "Letters to a Young Contrarian". He needs to be "taken down a notch", because, despite his illusions of grandeur, he is no Rilke. He is on my shitlist though.
