Vestal McIntyre is the author of the novel “Lake Overturn” and a story collection, “You Are Not The One.”
The Washington Post raved that “In ‘Lake Overturn,’ McIntyre has created a vast, intricate lattice of relationships, reminiscent of the novels of Richard Russo. … Here is an author capable of handling even the most noxious elements when he stirs his American backwater.” Out magazine added that “Richly imagined and fully realized, ‘Overturn’ has given us what we didn’t know we were waiting for: the next Great Idahoan Novel.”
“You Are Not The One” was named a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and won a 2006 Lambda Literary Award.
Vestal has been awarded fiction fellowships from the NEA and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
His stories have appeared in Tin House, Open City, “From Boys to Men: Gay Men Write About Growing Up,” “Between Men: Best New Gay Fiction” and several other anthologies.
Vestal now lives in London, where he is working on a second novel and a collection of stories based on his years in New York City.
