Many years ago I read somewhere that Asturias was of (partly) Indian origin, presumably a Maya. When I made research for the short Danish article about him I was not able to verify this. I did find an article in Spanish that seemed to touch on the topic, but alas my Spanish was never good and it has not gone better by not being used. Does someone know: was he a Maya?

[edit] Will translate

If you post the link to the article in spanish I can read it and sumarize it for you.

[edit] Books are so rich on Guatemalan culture

Miguel Angel Asturias books are so rich on Guatemalan culture. At the end of his books there is a glossario of meaning of so many words such as: atol, shuco, hueuecho. Some of these words are not in use anymore. Some of these words make sense just to Guatemalan people. Asturias books really touch me, they are so dip in feelings. He really was a genious who add to his work his sould and the soulds of spirits, believes and traditions of Guatemala.
