This review is from: The Illustrated London News, 1923-1925 (Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton) (Paperback)

Volumes 27-37 of the Ignatius Press Collected Works series cover weekly essays Chesterton wrote for "The Illustrated London News". Here in Vol. XXXIII, GK's writing is as humorous and perceptive as ever, as he tackles all sorts of topics, including evolution, Prohibition, current affairs in Europe, Capitalism, Socialism, English literature, Leopold and Loeb...His opinions are almost always relentlessly logical, devastatingly trenchant, and yet well-mannered and good-natured. Every word is to be savored. Although some of the issues GK takes on are forgotten, the insights he draws from them live on!
