"Rather than condescendingly and misguidedly treating Darger only as a case study, we can look into his work for what it may tell us about both the powerful allure of mass-mediated narrative and imagery and the possibility (or impossibility) of escaping the labyrinthine and often terrifying histories and politics of which we in the world today are the direct heirs.” Michael Moon. Darger's Resources.

In his external life Darger was a pitiable figure, reclusive, impoverished, orphaned at 16, often regarded as crazy, suffering almost constant pain in his later years and working menial jobs his entire life. However in the internal world of his writings and art he was both a hero and anti-hero, creator of magical, violent world’s and a fiercely determined protector of children.
