Guatemalan literature is literature written by Guatemalan authors, whether in the indigenous languages present in the country or in Spanish. Though there was likely literature in Guatemala before the arrival of the Spanish, all the texts that exist today were written after their arrival.
Guatemalan poet and novelist Miguel Ángel Asturias won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967.[1] Other notable Guatemalan authors include José Milla y Vidaurre, José Batres Montúfar, and Rafael Arévalo Martínez.[2] Resistance literature has played a role in the history of Guatemala.[3]
