"G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an artist, philosopher, columnist, arts critic and prolific writer. A very large man of 6'4"" and 21 stone, Chesterton also had a 'colossal genius' according to his friend George Bernard Shaw - and his work, particularly The Man Who Was Thursday and the Father Brown stories, has had an astounding impact on English fiction. Chesterton died of heart failure in his home in 1936, and was given a Requiem Mass in Westminster Cathedral."
More modern than the moderns, more medieval than the medievalists, funnier than all of them—reading Chesterton today is like watching someone give a speech of unimpeachable common sense from the bridge of a departing UFO * The Atlantic *
