For more than half a century, the body of Miguel Ángel Asturias — Guatemala's Nobel laureate and one of Latin America's most enduring literary voices — has rested in a Parisian cemetery, far from the land that shaped his imagination. This October, Guatemala will finally bring him home, interring his remains at the cultural center that bears his name in Guatemala City. The repatriation fulfills a wish Asturias expressed before his 1974 death, and reminds us that a nation's relationship with its great artists does not end at the grave — sometimes, it is only then that the deepest reckoning begin
