Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (28 April 1953 – 15 July 2003) was a Chilean novelist, short-story writer, poet and essayist. In 1999, Bolaño won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives), and in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel 2666, which was described by board member Marcela Valdes as a “work so rich and dazzling that it will surely draw readers and scholars for ages.” The New York Times described him as “the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation”.

Both Chile and Peru claim pisco—a form of brandy or distilled fermented grape juice—as their national drink. Pisco’s origins date back to colonial times, when the grapes used were imported from Europe but the colony was forbidden from exporting wine. The word “pisco,” also the name of city in southern Peru, is from the Quechua for “bird.” So the drink occupies the faultline of colonial relations between Spain and its colonies, and of the conflictual history between independent postcolonial states. For the dispute between Chile and Peru over pisco, which has been fought out in the media and international courts, is, as Jerry Mitchell and William Terry note, “a proxy war contesting the outcome of the War of the Pacific” (525), in which, between 1879 and 1884, Chile expanded its northern territorial borders, encroaching upon Peru’s pisco-producing region. There is a lot of history that goes into the drink. A pisco sour, meanwhile, is a cocktail of pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg whites. It is distinctively different in the two countries: smoother in Chile, but equally potent.
