G. K. Chesterton is a perfect introduction to Chesterton’s life, thought, work, and writing by one of our last living links to G.K.C.’s Distributist movement. Narrating the Chesterton story from something just less than first-hand knowledge, Aidan Mackey, who knew Pepler, Robbins, and other “second-generation” notables who cut their teeth on G. K.’s Weekly and other early Distributist media organs, offers an accessible, entertaining, and engaging look at the life of one of the 20^th century’s most perceptive, perspicacious, and occasionally pugnacious social critics, novelists, journalists, and poets. What makes Chesterton most appealing is the fact that his wisdom was always deployed in defense and support of the “common man,” and it is this trait that Mackey reveals in the most compelling of terms.
