The Man Who Was Thursday

by G. K. Chesterton

A poet infiltrates a council of anarchists and discovers, one unmasking at a time, that everyone at the table is exactly what he was pretending to be. It reads like a thriller and ends like a fever dream about God. Chesterton called it a nightmare, and insisted, unhelpfully, that it was a hopeful one.
