I always like to think that among Poles, he finally met someone who could out-drink him. He traveled to the occupied country to bring news, jeans, and records to the oppressed resistant youth of the 70’. I’ve learned that a part of his family came from a small town in western Poland, only 30 km away from mine. But as I walked through the wide forest paths, my mind wandered, only to come back to the life story of one of my favorite writers. He says you should cherish them and make time for them just as for a paper book. It was the real Hitch’s voice I’ve heard.Īt the end of the memoir, Hitch shares his thoughts on audio-books. I consumed it as an audio-book during the summer.įor 17.5 hours, Hitch and I were resting on the sunny terrace in my hometown in Poland and going around the lush woods and lakes that surround the area. To me, the autobiography of Hitch was a true literary journey.
