G. K. Chesterton's surreal masterpiece, The Man Who Was Thursday, is a psychological thriller that centres on seven anarchists in turn-of-the-century London who call themselves by the names of the days of the week.
Chesterton explores the meanings of their disguised identities in a fascinating mystery and, ultimately, a spellbinding allegory.
Chesterton's nutty agenda is really quite simple: to expose moral relativism and parlour nihilism for the devils he believes them to be. This wouldn't be interesting, though, if he didn't show such passion for giving the devil his due.
He animates the forces of chaos and anarchy with every ounce of imaginative verve and rhetorical force in his body.
