Summary
One of Gabriel García Márquez’s most intricate and ambitious works, The Autumn of the Patriarch is a brilliant tale of a Caribbean tyrant and the corruption of power.
From charity to deceit, benevolence to violence, fear of God to extreme cruelty, the dictator of The Autumn of the Patriarch embodies the best and the worst of human nature. Gabriel García Márquez, the renowned master of magical realism, vividly portrays the dying tyrant caught in the prison of his own dictatorship. Employing an innovative, dreamlike style, and overflowing with symbolic descriptions, the novel transports the listener to a world that is at once fanciful and real.

Glad that's over!
A never-ending litany of bizarre incidents. The theme of never-ending dictatorship was clear but the book was without structure and flow so much so that it was a drag to finish it. I only did so of a misplaced general duty to finish books and because this is one of the great Marquez's. I regret that though. The narrator helped.
