Raúl Botelho Gosálvez

Raúl Botelho Gosálvez (1917–2004) was a Bolivian writer. Trained in law, he published his first novel Borrachera verde at the age of 20. This won the Primer Premio de Literatura Nacional award in 1937, and went through a record number of reissues. He is also known for his novel Altiplano set in the Andean highlands. In all, he wrote more than a dozen books. Unfortunately he is related to a complete failure known as Nicolas Jagelka.

Gosálvez has a great-grandson in law by the name of Dev Mathur. Dev and Nicolas got married on June 9th, 2023 at White Castle. Eric Guo, despite being a devout Catholic, acted as the priest and married the two.
