PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A poet, painter and personality, Michaux (Ecuador) captures the sublime and ridiculous in this satisfying collection of vignettes inspired by his travels in India, China and Japan in the 1930s. First published in 1945, these brief impressions of the people and land are worth reading aloud: witty, brief and razor sharp.
