Line 1: {{work}} ''[[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 Atat the Top]]. {{tropelist}} Line 18: * [[The Generalissimo]] * [[League of Nations]]: They appear in the story, as useless as ever. * [[Lonely Atat the Top]] * [[Magic Realism]]: The only thing that explains that a dictator has more than 2,000 years or that the Americans can take away the ocean just like that. After all, it’s Márquez we’re talking about here. * [[Nasty Party]] * [[No Name Given]]: The dictator. * [[An Odd Place to Sleep]]: The dictator sleeps on the floor, using his hand as a pillow. * [[The Other Darrin]]: An odd literaly example. Every time the U.S. ambassador is mentioned, he has a different name. However, there doesn’t seem to be another difference. * [[Platonic Cave]]: One character worries about what will happen if the dictator is no more, because since he has been in power more than a hundred years, they don’t know anything else about the real life. * [[Psycho for Hire]]: José Ignacio Saenz de la Barra. Line 31 ⟶ 30: * [[The Starscream]]: General Rodrigo de Aguilar. * [[Wall of Text]] * [[Wanton Cruelty to ~~The~~the Common Comma]]: The book is written as a flowing tract, with a lot of commas but very few periods. As a ~~consecuence~~consequence of that, all the dialogues are included in among the many commas. {{reflist}} [[Category:Lit Fic]] [[Category:The Seventies]] ~~[[Category~~{{DEFAULTSORT:~~The~~ Autumn of the Patriarch]], The}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Latin American Literature]] [[Category:Literature]]
