Interesting in his own right is Author Kubizek, who reveals more about himself than he intends. Trained as a musician, he wound up only as a small-town civil servant.

Gauguin used to wail, in later years-much as a lifer's wife might wail: "I had no idea he was going to Sing Sing!" Mette Gad was a Danish civil servant's daughter, a handsome, white-skinned Juno (Gauguin favored husky women) who met her fate on a jaunt to Paris in 1873. Paul Gauguin was a strapping fellow with a bull neck, a great beak of a nose, and hooded, blue-green eyes.
