He's One of the Most Terrifying Rhetoricians the World Has Seen

Martin Amis on Christopher Hitchens. "He thinks like a child (that is to say, his judgments are far more instinctive and moral-visceral than they seem, and are animated by a child's eager apprehension of what feels just and true); he writes like a distinguished author; and he speaks like a genius. As a result, Christopher is one of the most terrifying rhetoricians that the world has yet seen."

It's a meandering ode to his friend.
