Michael LaPointe
Photo by Ben Petrie Michael LaPointe is the author of Ruby Red (2027) and The Creep (2021). 
Ruby Red A novel forthcoming from Véhicule, Spring 2027 "Like no other writer, Michael LaPointe captures something I think of as Universal Boyhood -- grody, tacky, downtrodden and, from a distance of many years, unbelievably funny. This book will fill you with nostalgia for adolescence, and gratitude for having escaped it." - Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection "A coming-of-age-story like no other I've ever read, Michael LaPointe's Ruby Red is tautly written, suspenseful and as original and unsentimental as it is ultimately touching. I loved it." - Adelle Waldman, author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. and Help Wanted 
The Creep A novel published by Random House Canada, 2021 "A deep, weird, and uncanny tale. I stayed up all night reading and then it gave me nightmares." - Sheila Heti, author of Motherhood and How Should a Person Be? "It is so refreshing to read a novel from an author who actually seems like they were alive when they wrote it." - Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts Press Photos Credit: Ben Petrie |

The Events at X A novella published in Dead Writers "LaPointe's prose is powerful, angry, and deeply empathetic." - The Winnipeg Free-Press "This unsettling echo of ongoing CanLit complicity produces haunting resonances . . . LaPointe's eerie slow burn leaps off the page and into our lives." - The Ex-Puritan "LaPointe manages to exploit our own readerly complicity in the colonial conduct toward Indigenous peoples . . . Readers find themselves in a similar crisis of conscience that underlines our collective responsibility for the national sins of the past." - The Ampersand Review 
Operation Morning Light A documentary podcast ★ ★ ★ ★ "Eerie, atmospheric, beautiful." - The Times of London "Captivating . . . this story gradually unfolds from dreaminess into foreboding." - The Guardian "Best podcast of the year." - Financial Times Articles
