He was orphaned and abused his entire life. He created a magical world to escape to that's unlike anything anyone has ever done. In the late 1800s, Henry Darger lived a difficult life full of pain and trauma. He suffered abuse at the hands of those around him. He wasn't understood. Eventually, he'd focus this all into a magical world that he would capture in the world's longest novel and a series of breathtaking wall drawings that are unlike anything you've ever seen. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the painful but beautiful life of outsider artist Henry Darger.
