First published in 1908, ’The Man Who Was Thursday’ is a metaphysical thriller novel by G.K. Chesterton. It is the story of Gabriel Syme, who is recruited by Scotland Yard as part of an anti-anarchist task force. When he meets Lucian Gregory, a poet, and member of a secret society of anarchists, he gains access to the underground movement.
The group is led by a central council of seven men, each named for a day of the week. Gabriel convinces the local chapter to elect him to the vacant position of 'Thursday' and he soon discovers that he is not the only one pretending to be something that he is not.
'G.K. Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday is a wacky, nightmarish, deliriously well-written adventure story for grownups in which nothing is what it seems and everyone wears a mask, whether figurative or literal. It’s hard to think of a more thrilling book.'-Kate Christensen, TIME Magazine
