Dear Mr. Lehmann,
Please consider the possibility that Hitchens may have been playing ketman to save his life and protect his family. Hitchens was very aware of the game since he wrote a story about Czeslaw Milosz and ketman.
It is possible that he wanted to live and rather than experience the sad fate of JFKjr, J.H. Hatfield, Gary Webb, etc., he chose to play the game for all it was worth by assuming the most absurd and obviously fraudulent intellectual positions. And while doing so, building an audience using controversy and grandstanding.
It comes as no surprise to me that more of his writing is being posthumously released in September (the 11th?) and I am anxious to learn if my prediction comes true that he will remove his mask and reveal his game of ketman.
Hitchens was too bright not to see through the ruse of 19 Arabs with boxcutters.
I further predict he’ll influence the November election with what he says in September. But only if Ron Paul is nominated. Hopefully, those Americans with integrity can meet him half way.

I have always great adniration for those gifted with speech and pen
both fearless in their usage to set down the truth as he/she sees it..
I enjoyed thia man.s richness in both the aforementione areas, it is
sad that one-anyone- has to die! But then as Hitchins well knew, no one gets out of this life alive! The tragedy is that Christopher really killed himself in the indulgence of the two items that can assist an
early exit from this life, tobacco/booze. It seems that Christopher
needed this fuel to increase those talents, but really, what a man chooses to do, is really not the real point ro settle upon,it is a habit
of humanity to set about the defects of a man/woman like scavenger
vultures, when, quite frankly, for me, a ‘would be’ poet ever reaching
out for the ulimate immortal line, I merely look on the immense
pleasure of this man’s talents, his habits concern me little, just a deep
sadness that one with such gifts and intelligence did not regard
the body that contained then there by the grace of (god)? go we all.
A ‘grace’ Christopher would most probably refute.
I loved the man his writings, his wit, as Doctor of words.

Overdone, Hitchens was a bit like the one who could not make at Jaipur Festival - yet reaped the publicity he by now uses systematically, routinely,automatically- Salman Rushdie in our global village unableto attend Jaipur Festiva l- yet reaping the buzz and aura gliterarti or Bernard Henri Lévy fall in that category of soft-tocquevillean fame in which BHL as he is known in France, basked In tocqueville’s Footsteps, The Atlantic magazine, 2005.
I therefore commend R.Lehmann for this shrewd and timely effort at breaking the frozen sea of conformism in Hitchens case revolving around hazy questionable legerdemains or else become targets to a motley of resistance fighters, and neither Hitchens, Tocqueville, BHL, Rushdie eventually could take the heat coming from the kitchen since Jean-Jacques eventually unmasked Rousseau for posterity.
