Christopher Hitchens, in his own words

By Elizabeth Tenety

Hitchens died Thursday from pneumonia, a complication of esophageal cancer. (SHANNON STAPLETON - REUTERS) Christopher Hitchens sat down with On Faith’s Sally Quinn in the fall of 2010, after his cancer diagnosis, in a wide-ranging interview that spanned his life’s work and his thoughts on mortality.

The famed author and atheist activist also wrote for On Faith last year about his diagnosis and what he thought about those people who said they were praying for him in, Pray for me? Christopher Hitchens?.

You can watch Quinn’s interview with Hitchens below:
