...treatment. Yet one California tea tripper who made his own brew from Jimson weed "had hallucinations with scenes of demons, devils and voodoo people chasing him." He wandered barefoot in the woods for hours, over nettles and thorns that lacerated his feet and left them bloody, but felt no pain. He set fires to keep away the voodoo people, which led to his rescue by a forest ranger. A longtime LSD user, he told the doctors that his tea high was the worst ever...

...World War I, hospital wards, lunatic asylums. The mysterious author's protagonist-narrator is a most reluctant soldier and postwar wanderer named Bardamu. Murderers, wife beaters and abortionists appear as ordinary characters in Journey. Its language-French jangled into street argot-is a kind of frenzied shorthand of pain, terror and hate...
