In an epilogue set in a movie theater in this city, a man loses his wedding ring, watch, and cufflinks between the legs of a woman he fondles. A novel set in this city that retells the killing of Trotsky in multiple styles also includes the wordplay-heavy dialogue of Bustrófedon. The gay poet José Cemí (“say-MEE”) grows up in this city in the 1977 novel Paradiso. An author who was an exile to London wrote about his sexual exploits in this city in a novel published in English as [his name]’s Inferno, and used this city’s dialects in his Joycean novel Three Trapped Tigers. A poet born in this capital city wrote the collection Versos sencillos (“sen-SEE-yohs”), which includes the poems “I Cultivate a White Rose” and “Guantanamera.” For 10 points, what capital city was the birthplace of José Martí? ■END■
