Has anyone read "In the Yucatan" by Earl Shorris?

Question

If you have read it, can you please give me some details as to what kind of Mayan customs are described in the book?

Answer 1

I have not read it, but per amazon.com's summary:
Shorris knows scads about Mayan culture and uses it to good advantage, weaving politics, religion, natural medicine, spirituality, and beautiful language into an admirable political novel.
One of the chief delights of this rich, intense storytelling is the introduction it provides to the Maya understanding of time, medicine, and proper behavior.
