As I recall, I may have been responsible for introducing you to the writings of all the 'New Atheists'. So your piece leads me to wonder: am I the midwife of Daniel's Den? And can I live with that on my conscience??...
Sold - and I'm very happy to hear of your own book on Hitchens. I, like many millions, deeply felt the loss of Hitchens. Though Hitchens is irreplaceable, when I first started reading you, I was struck by how much you shared with Hitchens - very well read, strong opinions, superb writing. Further reading has only reinforced this.
Good recommendation!

Ha, you did that! Gosh, that must have been a long time ago.
Still, I think the causal chain here is long enough that you are absolved of any responsibility!

I'm not entirely sure how I can possibly live up to that praise, Carl, but thank you so much! And I'm sure you'll enjoy Matt's excellent book.
