Another well-written thing indeed. But I must confess, I read the Mother Teresa book and my husband, an avowed atheist, really enjoyed "God is not Great." On his own terms, other than the purely political sophistry in which he engages, Hitchens can be pretty persuasive. I'm not saying he's right or sober or even consistent, but I do admire his skill as a polemicist. (Actually, a few years after I read the book, I've met since some people -- former college classmates -- who claimed to have worked for or with Mother Teresa's order who shared some of the same criticisms he had -- the nuns weren't so interested in palliative care as with a sort of noble suffering. They stayed cause at least they were doing something, but the bit about her (and her staff) routinely undermedicating patients is something I heard. Though whether it was due to a shortage of meds or philosophy, they weren't willing to opine.
