Providence was with me this summer when I went to hear a man talk about modern China--and ended up talking to a different man about G. K. Chesterton. I have always felt ambiguous about the Chinese enigma. I have never felt anything but unequivocal love for Chesterton since reading the Father Brown stories as a boy.
So although the lecture on China was packed with revelations about that country's horrific one-child policy, I was far happier after the discussion about Chesterton despite gleaning only two new bits of Chestertrivia. Oh, and a small literary bonus.
