Weekend in Guatemala is a volume of stories woven by Miguel Ángel Asturias around the historical moment in 1954 when the Guatemalan government of Colonel Jacobo Arbenz was overthrown by the self-styled "Liberation Army," sponsored by the CIA. This collection offers a realistic, passionate narration with an evident socio-political pulse; the stories are written in the heat of indignation.
