>Aged 50, Dexter wrote a book about himself – A Pickle for the Knowing Ones or Plain Truth in a Homespun Dress – in which he also complained about politicians, the clergy and his wife. The book contained 8,847 words and 33,864 letters, but no punctuation and its capitalization seemed random. At first, he handed his book out for free, but it became popular and was reprinted for sale eight times.
>In the second edition, Dexter added an extra page which consisted of 13 lines of punctuation marks with the instructions that readers could distribute them as they pleased.
hahahahahaha

It's on google books, and as it's only 36 pages, you can read the whole thing in preview. It's fairly confounding, but worth a perusal.
>>1016349
just tried reading it, it's literally gibberish
>>1016364
From a linguistic perspective, his use of spelling to communicate regional dialect is intriguing, and conceptually it bears some striking similarity to the kind of stuff that e.e. cummings and James Joyce was doing (maybe we should check in with /lit/ and get their perspective)?

>Crashing this career, with no survivors
He wanted to organize Christendom into a mega military expedition and he actually did it the madman

>Nasreddin was walking in the bazaar with a large group of followers. Whatever Nasreddin did, his followers immediately copied. Every few steps Nasreddin would stop and shake his hands in the air, touch his feet and jump up yelling "Hu Hu Hu!". So his followers would also stop and do exactly the same thing.
One of the merchants, who knew Nasreddin, quietly asked him: "What are you doing my old friend? Why are these people imitating you?"
"I have become a Sufi Sheikh," replied Nasreddin. "These are my Murids [spiritual seekers]; I am helping them reach enlightenment!"
"How do you know when they reach enlightenment?"
"That’s the easy part! Every morning I count them. The ones who have left – have reached enlightenment!"

>Now to show my love to my father and great characters I will show the world one of the great wonders of the world --- in 15 months, if no man murders me (indoors or outdoors). Such a museum on Earth (I) will announce --- oh, Lord, Thou knowest to be true. Further, hear me good Lord. I am (a)going to let our children know now, to see, good Lord, what has been in the world (a) great way back to our forefathers. [Not old Plymouth (Colony, Massachusetts) but stop to Adam & Eve.] To show 45 figures2 [two-legged and four-legged because we can't do well without four-legged: in the first place, they are our food).] In the next place, to make out Dexter's museum, I want 4 lions to defend those great and mystery men from East to West, from North to South which now are in place, raised. (The lamb is not ready.) In short meter, if agreeable, I form a good and peaceable government on my land in Newburyport, complete. I take 3 presidents, (the New) Hampshire Governor all (the way) to New York, and the great Mister John Jay is one, that makes 2 in that state. The king of Great Britain, Mister (William) Pitt, Rufus King. Cross over to France: Louis XVI and then the great Bonaparte the Great and their signature crow biddy3 --- I command Peace and the greatest brotherly love --- and not fade. Be linked together with that best of true love so as to govern all nations on the face of the globe. Not to tyrannize over them, but to put them to order if any dispute shall arise as to boundaries or any matters of importance, it is left France and Great Britain and America to be settled.

>Dexter also bought an estate in Chester, New Hampshire. He decorated his house in Newburyport with minarets, a golden eagle on the top of the cupola, a mausoleum for himself and a garden of 40 wooden statues of famous men, including George Washington, William Pitt, Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, and himself. It had the inscription, "I am the first in the East, the first in the West, and the greatest philosopher in the Western World".
Just your average American.

I'd argue this is the best performance ever put on film
The madman himself
