Miserable Miracle: Mescaline by Henri Michaux

5.0

I let others do drugs so I don't have to. Then they create something simultaneously wonderfully creative and alarmingly unnerving. This book is just that. The author takes you with him on his journey with the drug mescaline, a hallucinogen which elongates everything impossibly. This work is perhaps one of the greatest about the dream state or that blurry border between the conscious and unconscious, between the boring order of normal life and the unendurable erraticism of true chaos.
