Noa Noa: The Tahitian Journal by Paul Gauguin

medium-paced

0.0

The journal of a middle aged disaffected white man Eat Pray Loving his way into a marriage with a thirteen year old girl, whom he abandons after two years to return to his wife back in France. Filled with attempts at ethnography clouded by his 19th Century Romantic yearning for the dying past of the Noble Savage and constant infantilization of the people around him, this journal’s only use outside of a record of academic interest is to learn from Gaugin’s own mouth what a terrible person he was.
