Everyone in Cape Verde knew Senhor da Silva Arajo. Successful entrepeneur, owner of the islands first automobile, a most serious, upright, and selfmade businessman, Senhor da Silva Arajo was the local success story. Born an orphan, he never married, he never splurgedone good suit was good enough for himand he never wandered from the straight and narrow. Or so everyone thought.But when his 387page Last Will and Testament is read alouda marathon task on a hot afternoon which exhausts reader after readerthere is shocking news, and not just for the smug nephew so certain of inheriting all of Senhor da Silva Arajos property.In his will, Senhor da Silva Arajo has left a memoir that is a touching web of elaborate selfdeceptions. He desired so ardently to prosper, to be taken seriously, and to join (perhaps, if they would have him) the exclusive Grmio country club. But most of all, he wanted to be a good man. And yet, shady deals, twists of fate, an illegitimate child: such is the lot of poor, selfcritical Senhor da Silva Arajo. A bit like Calvinos Mr. Palomar in his attention to protocol and in his terror of lifes passions; a bit like Svevos Zeno (a little pompous, a little oldfashioned, and often hapless), Senhor da Silva Arajo moves along a deliciously blurry line between farce and tragedy: a selfimportant buffoon becomes fully human, even tragic, figure in the arc of this wonderful noveltranslated into Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch Norwegian, and Swedish, and now, at last, English.
