What does /lit/ have to say about Henry Darger and his book "In the Realms of the Unreal"?
Is there a particular abridged copy you would recommend?
Sorry, not gonna read a book by a guy who thought that girls have penises.
I can't seem to find a single published copy of In the Realms of the Unreal anywhere.

It's not published, and from the excerpts that are floating around it doesn't seem that interesting anyway. The guy was just some mentally damaged idiot pleb LOL

he was borderline retarded so it probly isn't worth the effort
then again Elliot Rodger was borderline retarded too but his book was a laugh riot and he was a pretty good critique of contemporary society

My Twisted World may be the ultimate expression of New Sincerity.

The consensus is that it's significant for the art, not the prose. Unless you get access to it in the American Folk Art Museum I'm not aware of a way to read it.
