The Autumn of the Patriarch | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image

Opening line:
"Over the weekend the vultures got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screen on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside, and at dawn on Monday the city awoke out of its lethargy of centuries with the warm, soft breeze of a great man dead and rotting grandeur."
