Autumn of the Patriarch

[Malignd]

<<re-reading this wonderfully dense phantasmagorphic
stew.

can't get saddam out of my head while reading it>>

Because Garcia-Marquez is alluding to him.

It's such a funny book.  The vultures pecking at the
palace windows, the cows, the dictator lighting the
cowflops, his whistling hernia ...

I haven't read it in a long time, but much of it is
still very vivid.
