''[['''The Autumn of the Patriarch]]''''' is a 1975 novel by [[Gabriel Garcia Marquez]] (of ''[[One Hundred Years of Solitude]]'' fame) about the life of a ruthless dictator in an unnamed Caribbean country. The book is written in a long, drawn-out way, exposing the thoughts of the dictator, in what has been called a poem on prose, where it’s stated that even the powerfuls are [[Lonely at the Top]].

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: José Ignacio Saenz de la Barra.
* [[Reality Warper]]: The dictator has such power that when he orders the time of day changed from 3 to 8 in the morning, the roses open two hours before dew time.
* [[Semper Fi]]: The U.S. Marines helped the dictator take power, and their ship docked on the bay gives the first part of the book an ominous feeling (yeah, they’re a bunch of [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]es here).
* [[Shadow Dictator]]: The dictator. Contrary to the usual examples of this trope, however, we know he exists because... well, he's the main character.
* [[The Starscream]]: General Rodrigo de Aguilar.
