The countries of Latin America are no strangers to authoritarianism. Strongmen, tyrants & dictators have marked the region’s history & literature for hundreds of years. So much so that a whole genre distinct to Latin American literature emerged around it: la novela del dictador. youtu.be/Nh4I1hMvubU
