He was educated at St. Paul’s, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.’s Weekly.
Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.

No pude simpatizar ni con el personaje principal ni con las historias. La verdad que me estoy dando cuenta que este tipo de policiales no son mucho de mi agrado 😅 lo leía sin entender donde iba girando la trama y con finales que quedabas como ¿WHATS? 😓

No sé, el protagonista no me terminó de cerrar porque nunca da explicaciones de cómo resuelve los casos: El crimen fue así y así porque lo digo yo que soy super perspicaz más o menos esa es la postura que yo interpreté y se me hizo de lo más tedioso. A esto se le suma el hecho de que no me resultaron historias interesantes, no me tuvieron en vilo ni quemando mi cabeza intentando descifrar los casos. De los ocho cuentos los únicos que rescato son El duelo del doctor Hirsch y El maligno influjo del libro que me entretuvieron y sorprendieron.

Como primera aproximación a Chesterton, me pareció muy bien. Sospecho que mejor no examinarlo de cerca. El padre Brown es querible, me lo imagino como Martin Freeman.
