11 August 2004Of crocodiles and cuttlefishThe American Chesterton Society recently made its first-ever pilgrimage to G. K. Chesterton's England, and Dawn Eden was there. For the most part, she was delighted, though she was dismayed to see a peripheral argument among the pilgrims whether Shakespeare was a Roman Catholic, of all things taking center stage. "Somewhere along the way," she says, "the idea of examining and celebrating G. K. Chesterton's life and career got buried." Nonsense in the wrong place? Perhaps. I rather think she'll have more to say in the next couple of days, but for now, let's welcome her home. (I, of course, followed the other way home: I stayed there.) (Update, 4:45 pm: Gawker welcomes Dawn home with their infamous Five Questions.) |
