Chesterton is one of the few right wing wrtiers I enjoy reading as he doesn't have the typical rightoid autism that people like Evola or Guenon do.

During his lifetime everyone loved him, including his ideological enemies. He was just a lovable, charming fellow and it shows in his writing.

I enjoyed the Screwtape Letters. I also remember liking The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when I was 10.

Yeah, with other writers I feel they paint a picture of their ideological opponents that isn't wholly accurate, and while I feel that Chesterton does that sometimes, it isn't really malicious like it is with other writers. I feel less like some autist is being purposefully unpleasant and more like I'm taking part in some banter with the boys.

This everlasting man was great, but it always felt whimsical and more of a dialogue than a list of reasons why he hated things.

>On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw, "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England." Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you had caused it.

we need an Everyman edition of the collected works of Chesterton like we have for Orwell. I can't find a decent collection of his works anywhere

Yeah the types that write shit that reads like "50 reasons why I hate everyone" are annoying.

this nigga just a clown

>I shall deliberately destroy your credit as an essayist, as a journalist, as a critic, as a Liberal, as everything that offers your laziness as a refuge, until starvation and shame drive you to serious dramatic parturition. I shall repeat my public challenge to you; vaunt my superiority; insult your corpulence; torture Belloc; if necessary, call on you and steal your wife’s affections by intellectual and athletic displays, until you contribute something to British drama.

>So threatened George Bernard Shaw in a March, 1908, letter to his personal friend and philosophical enemy, G.K. Chesterton. It was part of a long process on Shaw’s part of cajoling Chesterton to write a play. He recognized Chesterton’s gift for dialogue and the dramatic. He also thought Chesterton was wasting his literary talents on journalism. And probably more important of all to Shaw, he also knew that Chesterton could make a lot of money writing plays, which is how Shaw himself made a lot of money.

>In 1913, Chesterton finally gave in and wrote Magic, which was produced in November of that year at London’s Little Theatre. It was well-received and ran for 165 performances, followed by a similarly successful run in New York.
