Oswaldo José de los Ángeles Castro Intriago was an Ecuadorian journalist, teacher, poet, statistician, translator/reviser, and novelist. He was instrumental in founding Chone's first newspaper, the cultural weekly El Iris; in organizing the first census of the city of Quito, Ecuador as president of its technical commission; and in promoting the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization as its liaison officer for Southern Latin America. While in retirement in Madrid, Spain, he published La Mula Ciega (1970), a loosely autobiographical novel about two teenagers coming of age in the early 1900s with Chone, Bahía de Caráquez, Quito, Guayaquil, and the Galápagos as backdrops.
