    In case anyone thinks Chesterton is actually an anti-Semite, let me make three points:
    1. Chesterton had multiple life-long Jewish friends. For example, he dedicated his book "The Innocence of Father Brown" to Waldo d’Avigdor and his wife Mildred. Waldo was a Jew.
    2. Rabbi Stephen Wise, the President of the American Jewish Congress, had this to say about him in 1937 shortly after Chesterton's death: “Indeed, I was a warm admirer of Gilbert Chesterton. Apart from his delightful art and his genius in many directions, he was, as you know, a great religionist . . . I deeply respected him. When Hitlerism came, he was one of the first to speak out with all the directness and frankness of a great and unabashed spirit. Blessing to his memory!”
    3. Chesterton criticized every nationality and people. He also praised every nationality and people. And he did both with a sense of humor. A lot of the quotes that people cherry pick out of context are meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

    There is now an "American translation" of Chesterton's famous and beloved book "Orthodoxy". This "translation" leaves intact as much of the original text as possible, while omitting, summarizing, or rewording all that would make a modern day American's eyes glaze over.

    Re: Chesterton, he really isn't that hard. But it helps to have a lot of Victorian writing under your belt, or to be fresh off a C. S. Lewis binge.
    Reading him aloud does require some practice, or marking your phrases for where to take a breath. He obviously was the kind of guy who just talked like that, but it is a bit hard on an audience when I am an American chick....
