A review by gbasil
Tremendous Trifles by G. K. Chesterton

3.0

The most honest quote in this book is: “I tend, like all who are growing old, to re-enter the remote past as a paradise or playground” (211).

Chesterton is that customer at the grocery store who, when the item doesn’t ring up, guffaws that “It must be free!” And then, when no one laughs, goes home to write an angry Facebook post about how the new generation has no sense of humor or artistry, in dialogic form, assigning all the cleverest bits of speech to himself.
