For long we have lived in this modern society we have lost the ability to get surprised with the incoherence of facts. We are no longer open to the queer posibilities of a matter, I invite you to join to the Club of Queer Trades.
About the author
G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) was a prolific English journalist and author best known for his mystery series featuring the priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Baptized into the Church of England, Chesterton underwent a crisis of faith as a young man and became fascinated with the occult. He eventually converted to Roman Catholicism and published some of Christianity’s most influential apologetics, including Heretics and Orthodoxy.
