En 'Un barbare en Asie', Henri Michaux narra su experiencia al visitar la India y China, describiendo cómo estos pueblos le parecieron merecedores de ser reales. Se sumergió en esta realidad con alegría, creyendo que traería mucho consigo. Sin embargo, se pregunta si realmente creía en ello por completo, viéndolo como un viaje real entre dos imaginarios, quizás observándolos como viajes imaginarios realizados por otros. Michaux expresa sorpresa, emoción y agitación ante estos países inventados por otros. Reconoce que a este viaje le falta mucho para ser real, admitiendo que dejó de lado la política, que estaba transformando estos países. El autor reflexiona sobre cómo este libro ya no le satisface, le molesta y le avergüenza, permitiéndole solo corregir bagatelas, como si tuviera su propia resistencia y tono, impidiendo la introducción de elementos más serios y profundos.
Henri Michaux was a Belgian-born French experimental poet, writer and painter. Michaux is renowned for his strange, highly original poetry and prose, and also for his art: the Paris Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York had shows of his work in 1978. His autobiographical texts that chronicle his psychedelic experiments with LSD and mescaline include Miserable Miracle and The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless Minor Ones. He is recognised for his idiosyncratic travelogues and books of art criticism. Michaux is also known for his stories about Plume – "a peaceable man" – one of the most unenterprising heroes in literature, a character subject to many misfortunes.
