G. K. Chesterton

Died in 1936

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) began as an art student at the Slade, became a journalist and remained one all his life: from 1905 until his death he wrote a weekly column in a London illustrated paper, and published thousands of articles, essays, poems and some fifty detective stories built around a priest-detective. He converted to Catholicism in 1922, after years of public controversy, notably with Shaw, his friend. Borges cited him among his influences.
