Industry Reviews
"Of supposedly serious contemporary writers, Gilbert Keith Chesterton was the first to make a strong and genuine impression on me....Even now I see something romantic, almost heroic, about Chesterton, while deploring what in those days I knew nothing of, his self-indulgent polemical writing and the whimsical playing with paradoxes so common in his later fiction....I think it was The Man Who Was Thursday that started me off....I only know that, after a surfeit of supposedly realistic accounts of the workings of espoinage organizations...I long for The Last Cursade and Gabriel Syme with his cloak and sword-stick, and wish that there were a few more books like this."
New York Times Book Review - Kingsley Amis (10/13/1968)

"'The Man Who Was Thursday' is not quite a political bad dream, nor a metaphysical thriller, nor a cosmic joke in the form of a spy novel, but it has something of all three...It remains the most thrilling book I have ever read."
Kingsley Amis
