Question
A 1975 novel set in this country titled for a “cockfight” was the first written in one of its languages and is by the mononymous Frankétienne (“fron-kay-tee-EN”). In a play, this country’s king appoints the dukes of Lemonade and Marmalade and is haunted by the ghost of a murdered bishop. In a novel set in this country, which embodies “the marvelous real,” a one-armed revolutionary transforms into a succession of animals. In a 1994 novel, a girl from this country named Sophie is kicked out of her Brooklyn house when she fails her mother’s virginity test. This country is the setting of Alejo Carpentier’s The Kingdom of This World and the birthplace of an author who wrote Krik? Krak! and Breath, Eyes, Memory. For 10 points, name this birth country of Edwidge Danticat (“don-tee-KAH”), who grew up speaking its French-derived Creole. ■END■
