Question
This city divides into warring Romantic and Jubilant gangs in one of the roughly 60 prefaces that make up a novel for the “skip-around reader.” An author used this city to title the “last bad novel,” then spent 25 years writing the “first good novel,” The Museum of Eterna’s Novel. In the 1920s, this city’s aesthete Florida Group feuded with its socially engaged Boedo Group. An “Adam” surnamed for this city descends into Cacodelphia in a long novel that fictionalizes writers like Xul Solar (“shool so-LAR”) and Norah Lange. Spain’s (*) Ultraism movement influenced this city’s poets via its main avant-garde journal, which was named for a 19th-century poetic character who uses a spelling riddle to stump a man who seeks revenge for his murdered brother in a lengthy singing duel. This city was home to the literary magazine Sur. For 10 points, name this capital city home to Victoria Ocampo and the journal Martín Fierro. ■END■
