St. Paul, Minn. — Writer Francisco Goldman's new novel "The Divine Husband" is an epic tale of life, love, and commerce in 19th century Guatemala. It didn't start out to be that. Goldman has worked as a journalist in Central and South America. He's written contemporary novels based in his own Guatemalan heritage, including the critically acclaimed "The Ordinary Seaman." But he told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr a few years ago he needed a break, or as he puts it a way to soothe his soul. He did it by trying to answer a question.
