Remaining in his boat, MacGregor doffed his pith helmet, and blithely informed his host that he "would rest at his tent until the sun was cooler."

"Henry Darger: In the Realms of the Unreal" by John M. MacGregor - Salon Darger was truly a man of several careers, and John MacGregor's "In the Realms of the Unreal" represents a definitive, 10-year, 720-page critical study of his life and work.

MacGregor's book makes it clear that like all "outsider art," Darger's writings and artworks were an encompassing private world to him, one which the tired dishwasher began to inhabit as soon as he arrived home from one of his 14-hour shifts and sat down at the typewriter or work table. www.salon.com /books/review/2002/07/23/darger/index.html   (939 words)
