Book Reviews of Sound and Fury: The Art of Henry Darger
Book Review: A basic overview
Summary: 4 Stars
This third edition is a decent basic overview of the Darger phenomenon, an updated 2009 reprint of the earlier 2006 same title. Some of the more colorful, curious and shocking images are not here in these brief 76 pages. I recommend THE HENRY DARGER COLLECTION AT THE AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM, Anderson, Abrams/AFAM 2001, or HENRY DARGER: SELECTED ART AND WRITINGS, Bonesteel, Rizzoli 2000, among others. These are also available at Amazon from time to time, or at out-of-print resellers on the web. Also see the DVD of IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL by Jessica Yu, a 2004 film that was shown on PBS. An excellent film narrated by Dakota Fanning, before she was famous, and others. This is a perfect documentary that reveals all the strangeness and sorrow, the techniques and genius, yet lets you make up your own mind about Darger, even how to pronounce his name. Also available on Amazon.
