The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare is a metaphysical thriller first published by G.K Chesterton in 1908. The plot begins when Gabriel Syme is recruited to a secret anarchist division of Scotland Yard. It is heavy with both Christian and religious allegories and follows Syme during his time spent in the division. The book is a fantastic, exhilarating narrative of transformation and delves into the concepts of poetry, the written word, and finding light in the dark. It is a gloomy and desolate dreamscape that predates and maybe foreshadows the advent of surrealism, but it differs from surrealism in its source of inspiration and solution to the challenges given by the psychological subjectivism with which it is confronted.
