PORTUGUESE HAS ALWAYS sounded to me like a softer, more

sinister Spanish, and the Portuguese passengers on my plane from

Lisbon to the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe all looked like

compromised businessmen. There was the man with a graying head

of flowing hair and stylish glasses who talked in a clever bray and

wore a business blazer draped over both shoulders. There was the

game retiree in overlarge glasses and a candy-striped shirt who

smiled like an old rooster vacationing at Hefner’s estate. There were

the dark-browed Mediterraneans, grave with machismo, who wore

square-toed leather slippers that would mark them, in America, as

gay. Later I would wait for them in a taxi to finish cigarettes in front of

the Pestana São Tomé, one of the island’s luxury resort chains.
