Author Christopher Hitchens to host forum on politics and literature Nov. 11.

3:10 p.m., Oct. 29, 2003--British-born American journalist Christopher Hitchens will lead a “Forum on Politics and Literature,” at 4 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 11, in the Rodney Room of the Perkins Student Center.

A self-proclaimed political gadfly once regarded as a stalwart member of the Anglo-American left, Hitchens recently has taken aim at leading radicals such as Noam Chomsky, for being soft on what he calls “Islamofacism.” His support of the U.S. invasion of Iraq led to his resignation as a columnist for The Nation, a liberal magazine.

A contributing editor for Atlantic Monthly and Vanity Fair, Hitchens also writes for Harper’s, Granta, The London Review of Books and The Washington Post.

Besides writing a recent appreciation of George Orwell as a model for independent thinkers, Hitchens has authored book-length attacks on such widely disparate figures as Henry Kissinger, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Mother Theresa. He also is the author of “The Elgin Marbles: Should They Be Returned to Greece?” “Blood, Class and Nostalgia: Anglo-American Ironies” and “Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere.”

The free public event is sponsored by the departments of English and Political Science and International Relations, UD Honors Program and the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Science.

For more information, call 831-2361 or 831-8993.
