With sword fights, chases, underground passageways, conspiracies, anarchists, and dream-logic surrealism, this should have been turned into a late 60s movie -- but they made The Assassination Bureau instead. But TMWWT (subtitle: "A Nightmare") is much more than a novel, it's a philosophical manifesto. Kingsley Amis called it "a mix between political nightmare, metaphysical thriller, and cosmic joke in the shape of a spies' novel." Downloadable here. Get it.
This is the BEST book I have ever read. Since I was a child the Narnia series never left the number one spot on my list of books, until last year when I discovered 'The Man Who was Thursday' this book was exiting from cover to cover. I took a day off work because i could not put it down. Chesterton's was with words is magic.
