It's a Dark Crystal situation. Together they're a complete filmmaker but apart they can only be impossibly dour or the ultimate Quirks McGurks.

why are so many renowned 20th century English authors Catholic? they're like <5% of the English (not British) population but I can name four world famous authors off the top of my head (Tolkien, GK Chesterton, Gene Wolfe, the Clockwork Orange guy [ok I forget his actual name but he counts])

cuz' catholic lore is bonkers and inspired a massive generation of archiveofourown fanfiction writers. also closer to the turn of the century (including many of the ones you named) it was much more common

also probably something about class, i think in england, catholics are/were more likely to be part of the upper-class which means more access to becoming famous as wealth translates to fame access (e.g. pinstagram influencers).

I'm reading the latest book in the series on my way to work which is perfect for the train because you just lose yourself in the density of it all. And there's so many times someone is giving a speech and in any other hands it would be pedantic or didactic stuff but he just writes so well about big ideas its a treat.
