Asturias was born and raised in Guatemala although he has lived a considerable part of his adult life abroad. He lived for the first time in Paris in the 1920s, where he studied ethnography. Some researchers consider him the first Latin American novelist to show how anthropological and linguistic research may affect literary writing. During his time in Paris, Asturias was also attached to the Surreal movement and was credited with incorporating many features of the Modern style into Latin American letters. In this way, he was a key precursor of the Latin American boom of the 60s and 70s
