The Chesterton Review (The Journal of the G. K. Chesterton Society, Vol. XI, No. 4)

G.K., Chesterton

St. Thomas More College

In an article published the day before his death, G.K. Chesterton called the Man Who Was Thursday "a very melodramatic sort of moonshine." Set in a phantasmagoric London where policemen are poets and anarchists camouflage themselves as, well, anarchists, his 1907 novel offers up one highly colored enigma after another. If that weren't enough, the author also throws in an elephant chase and a hot-air-balloon pursuit in which the pursuers suffer from "the persistent refusal of the balloon to follow the roads, and the still more persistent refusal of the cabmen to follow the balloon.".
