What does /lit/ think of Chesterton?

fat fuck lmao

Smarter than nearly everyone that came after him and criticized him. A better writer, too.

Orwell, for example, wasn't as smart as Chesterton.

Another strange, middlebrow, British writer. Like Graham Greene, he wrote these freak books that were as much pulp as they were aesthetically pleasing works full of some valuable thoughts on matters of substance.

genre fiction
