An exhibit showing a small and incredibly cluttered room belonging to reclusive Chicago writer-artist Henry Darger is seen as it was reassembled and on display at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, in Chicago. The room is where Darger typed out what is probably the longest fictional narrative in the English language _ plus a shorter sequel, which is still about six times the length of the King James Bible. And it's also where Darger illustrated his works with hundreds of collages and watercolors; some of them nine feet long, and many of them double-sided. Darger died in 1973 at age 81.
