There are many tributes today to Christopher Hitchens, and they’re packed with links to his many writings and interviews – one of the hallmarks of the public intellectual in the modern age. Vanity Fair, where Hitchens was a contributing editor, has a short remembrance and a collection of Hitchens’s video appearances.

His courage, wit and lust for life will be missed greatly.
