Henri MICHAUX. Notes for an Account of a Trip to Poddema (Troubles They Have with the People of Poddema Over a Drink). No place or date [1945]. Typed manuscript with numerous handwritten corrections, 8 pages in-4, numbered 18 through 25 and hand-renumbered 1 through 8. Heavily corrected typescript, including about twenty lines written entirely in the author’s hand, of this account of an imaginary journey to the land of the Poddema, tribes composed of several species, some of which are raised in “pots”! This is one of four texts included in *Ici, Poddema*, published by Mermod in Lausanne in 1946. These *Notes for a Travel Account of Poddema* were first published in the journal edited by Henri Parisot, *Les Quatre Vents*, No. 3, November 1945. While actual travels played a very significant role in his life, Michaux indulges here, with relish, in a form of fantastical ethnology—without judgment but with obvious pleasure—as he describes the characteristics of the Poddemans or scenes of cannibalism.
