Garcia Mcrquez is as exorbitant as Melville and Dostoyevsky.--<strong><em>New York Times Book Review</em></strong><br><br>"The Autumn of the Patriarch mines one of the darkest veins in Latin American political history. The central character is a composite of Trujillos, Batistas, and Somozas. His is a genius at the barren politics of survival, capable and guilty of the most savage brutality, a lonely monster who shuffles through his palace every night, checking the locks, looking for assassins, lighting a lantern for a quick exit."--<strong><em>America</em></strong><br><br>Majestic...Superb...A stunning portrait of hte archetype, the pathological fascist tyrant.--<strong><em>New York Times Book Review</em></strong><br>
