"Majestic...Superb...A stunning portrait of hte archetype, the pathological fascist tyrant." — New York Times Book Review
"Majestic...Superb...a stunning portrait of the archetype, the pathological fascist tyrant. Garc'a M rquez is as exorbitant as Melville and Dostoyevsky." — New York Times Book Review
“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.” — America
