El Chulla Romero y Flores is a 1958 novel by the Ecuadorian writer Jorge Icaza (1906–1978).
The protagonist, Romero y Flores, is conflicted between identifying with either his father's Spanish descent or his mother's Amerindian origins.
While Icaza's 1934 novel Huasipungo (English trans: The Villagers, 1964) is his most famous work, many literary experts, such as Theodore Alan Sackett in El arte en la novelística de Jorge Icaza (1974), have hailed El chulla Romero y Flores as his masterpiece.
El chulla Romero y Flores was made into a TV movie in 1995 for Ecuavisa.
The story takes place in 1950s Ecuador and narrates the activities of the chulla Luis Alfonso Romero y Flores, his job as a bureaucrat, bohemian nights spent among friends, and his romance with Rosario Santacruz.
