B4 Bed: Stories for Adults ('The Autumn of the Patriarch')

The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Considered a “poem on the solitude of power” and featuring Márquez’s unique voice, this story is one of six sections from Gabriel García Márquez’s The Autumn of the Patriarch.

Based on real-life autocrats in the Caribbean, The Autumn of the Patriarch tells the story of a fictional dictator who conveys to the reader his desperation and loneliness while also detailing some of the atrocities and ruthless behavior that keeps him in power.
