Whoo-hooo! Good news from reader Nancy E:
Friday evening, February 24, at 6pm in the upstairs room at the Franklin
Library In the Realms of the Unreal, a documentary about Henry Darger. A reclusive janitor who spent his childhood in an asylum, Henry Darger created hundreds of paintings, drawings and manuscripts unknown to the public until his landlord discovered after his death in 1973. Dozens of these works, including Darger's 15,000 page illustrated novel, The Realms of the Unreal are at Pittsburgh's Warhol Museum until April 30, 2006. The film is free and open to the public!
