An Example of Christopher Hitchens’s Plagiarism Ronald V. Huggins I came upon the following example of Christopher Hitchens plagiarism in his National Book Award finalist volume, god is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything (2007). Hitchens gives himself away by copying the misspelled names of several gods from his plagiarized source (detailed discussion follows the comparative chart). This example of Hitchens’s plagiarism came to my attention when I was trying to make sense of his referring to the mother of the Hindu deity Krishna as “Devaka”
