In "Qui je fus", Michaux does not propose a linear biography, but rather an inner journey, a fragmented exploration of his being. He blends memories, dreams, thoughts and sensations to create a work that is both intimate and universal. Through his words, he seeks to define what he is, what he has been and what he could become.
A magnificent copy.
