THAT looks like a cool book. It sounds like a fascinating story. (I like dark and sinister!) HA! Like I NEED any more books to add to my collection! :P
I just finished reading that article before I got on LJ. No, I don't think that's you in 50 years. For starts, you already know that little girls so not have penises.
I'd kinda like to read this book though 700+ pages does make it a bit much. I heard about Darger a couple of years ago. Very strange. Even for an "outsider artist", he's pretty weird. I haven't decided if he was a pervert or wanted to be or really just an innocent but mentally ill man. There's no evidence that he did anything, but there's lots of fuel for the idea that he had "naughty" thoughts about little girls. But it's still a who knows kind of thing.
Surprisingly enough, the library here actually bought a book of his artwork last year. It's very odd and strangely (or not) disturbing.
