A poet-turned-detective. A secret council of anarchists. A president who may be more than human.

Gabriel Syme is recruited into a secret anti-anarchist police force and tasked with infiltrating a powerful underground organization. But when he finds himself unexpectedly elected to the council of anarchists as "Thursday," Syme is thrust into a surreal and dangerous game of disguise, deception, and pursuit.

What begins as a tale of political intrigue quickly becomes something far stranger - a nightmarish and often comic journey through shifting identities, absurd disguises, and philosophical riddles. Each of the seven members of the council, named for a day of the week, harbors a hidden truth. And at the center of it all looms Sunday, the enigmatic and terrifying leader whose power and purpose defy logic.

Blending elements of spy fiction, metaphysical allegory, and satire, The Man Who Was Thursday is a singular work of imagination. At once thrilling and thought-provoking, it explores the nature of chaos, the masks we wear, and the unsettling possibility that the universe itself may be far stranger - and more ordered - than we dare to believe.
