- Letters to a Young Contrarian is Christopher Hitchens' contribution, released in 2001, to the Art of Mentoring series published by Basic Books. Inspired by his students at The New School in New York City and "a challenge that was made to me in the early months of the year 2000," the book is addressed directly to the reader—"My Dear X" —as a series of missives exploring a range of "contrarian," radical, independent or "dissident" positions, and advocating the attitudes best suited to cultivating and to holding them. Hitchens touches on his own ideological development, the nature of debate and humour, the ways in which language is slyly manipulated in apology for offensive and ridiculous positions, and how to see through this and recognise it whenever it arises in oneself. Throughout, Hitchens makes reference to those dissenters who have inspired him over the years, including Émile Zola, Rosa Parks, George Orwell, Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke, and Václav Havel. The book also contains some of the critiques of religion and religious belief which Hitchens would later develop in his polemic God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. (en)
- Lettres à un jeune rebelle est un livre de Christopher Hitchens publié en 2001, et publié par Basic Books. Inspiré par ses étudiants de The New School à New York et à la suite d'« un défi qui lui a été lancé au début de l'année 2000 », le livre est adressé directement au lecteur sous la forme d'une série de missives, ayant pour objets des positions dites rebelles, radicales, indépendantes ou dissidentes. Hitchens y décrit ses propres méthodes pour mener un débat, en décrivant notamment le rôle de l'humour, et la façon dont la langue peut être sournoisement manipulée en vue d'attaquer ou de ridiculiser un adversaire. Hitchens fait référence aux dissidents qui l'ont inspiré, parmi lesquels Émile Zola, Rosa Parks, George Orwell et Václav Havel. Le livre contient aussi des critiques de la religion, qu'Hitchens développera dans son livre Dieu n'est pas grand. L'auteur s'est inspiré des Lettres à un jeune poète de Rainer Maria Rilke. (fr)
