Article History: Submitted-13/01/2020, Revised-25/02/2020, Accepted-27/02/2020, Published-29/02/2020. Abstract: Hailed as a milestone in the genre of the dictator novel, Mario Vargas Llosa’s The Feast of the Goat (2001) is a political thriller that portrays the tyrannical regime of General Rafael Trujillo. It is an artistic reconstruction of Trujillo’s rise to power, his infamous totalitarianism and finally his murder. The research paper analyses the nexus between history and fiction as an important trope in the novel. Appropriating historical data from numerous biographical accounts and newspapers, the novel re-envisions the social psychology, personal motives and the circumstances during ‘The Era’. It is important to note that Vargas Llosa deems literature as a forceful mode that reimagines the subtle nuances of the past that history cannot. The paper further explores the connection between power and violence as an inevitable means to political corruption and sexual trafficking of women in dictatorial regimes. Deliberating upon the problematic of power-politics and censorship, the paper analyses the role of the novelist in the reconstruction of the past so as to understand the present and envision a better future.
