A Look Inside
“Always be comic in a tragedy. What the deuce else can you do?”

― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
About the Book
The Man Who Was Thursday has been called exciting, funny, spiritual, mysterious, and invigorating at different times. It may be a mix of the two, perhaps. The story starts with a police officer on the run breaking into an enigmatic anarchist group. The scenario grows funnier and more ridiculous as the novel goes on, until it finally takes on the qualities of an abstract dream state. Thursday is a brilliant and captivating investigation of these subjects via the viewpoints of humor, the weird, and investigations of good vs evil and religion. It makes extensive use of Christian analogies.
