Dieser Umstand mag den einen oder anderen vorschnellen Kritiker dazu verleiten, den vorliegenden Text als geschönt oder nicht literarisch einzustufen, allerdings ist erstaunlicherweise genau das Gegenteil der Fall. Eine wunderbare Persönlichkeit und Sachlichkeit ist in Franklins Schreibstil gepaart mit einer weit überdurchschnittlichen Eleganz in Wortwahl und Ausdruck.

Ex-maire de Huntingdon et figure publique bien connue, Stéphane Gendron rappelle dans cet ouvrage d’une belle profondeur les événements qui ont contribué à bâtir l’image de l’homme en colère qu’il a longtemps projetée. Issu d’une famille dysfonctionnelle où la violence était omniprésente, Gendron a grandi dans la hantise de la mort, au point où l’urgence de vivre a fini par étouffer sa vie. Emportement, agressivité et dépendance inconsciente au trash ont fait de lui un adepte de la haine et du négativisme.

Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values.
