‘IS GOD...GREAT?”
Journalist and and literary critic Christopher Hitchens, noted for his iconoclastic wit, outspoken anti-theism and fiery political temperament—not to mention his abrupt abandonment of both a Trotskyist youth and, more recently, the progressive left—joins journalist Chris Hedges in conversation under the title, “Is God... Great?” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at King Middle School. $20. The event is sponsored by KPFA and will be introduced by and moderated by Sasha Lilley, formerly co-host of Against the Grain, and presently KPFA’s interim program director. 1781 Rose St.
