What's Wrong With The World: Essays

Paperback (A Chesterton Book March 28, 2016)
Of this book, G.K. Chesterton wrote: "I originally called this book “What is Wrong,” and it would have satisfied your sardonic temper to note the number of social misunderstandings that arose from the use of the title. Many a mild lady visitor opened her eyes when I remarked casually, 'I have been doing "What is Wrong" all this morning.' And one minister of religion moved quite sharply in his chair when I told him (as he understood it) that I had to run upstairs and do what was wrong, but should be down again in a minute. Exactly of what occult vice they silently accused me I cannot conjecture, but I know of what I accuse myself; and that is, of having written a very shapeless and inadequate book, and one quite unworthy... As far as literature goes, this book is what is wrong and no mistake."
