These are the closing remarks at Christopher Hitchens’ Memorial Service by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter quoting a phone message left by Christopher Hitchens on a readers answering machine because the reader wrote to Christopher to complain about a column he wrote in Vanity Fair.
The reader then wrote a second letter to Graydon Carter at Vanity Fair to complain about Christopher’s phone message. This is an excerpt from that second letter.
Recorded April 2012 at the Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York City
