His second novel, theMystery.doc, was published in 2017. BiographyEarly yearsMcIntosh is a native of Federal Way, Washington.[1] He graduated from the creative writing program at the University of Washington in Seattle after years of being enrolled on-and-off, during which time he held numerous menial jobs.[1] He also attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. As a second-year workshop student, he won Playboy magazine's short story contest for university students for his story "Fishboy."[2] WellMcIntosh’s debut novel was published in 2003, when he was 26 years old.[3] Well is a series of vignettes about the bleak existence of desperate characters living in the Seattle suburb of Federal Way, Washington.[4] The book earned praise for its realistic characters,[3][5] stark writing style[1] and for being ambitious.[6] It was both praised and criticized for its structure and unrelated storylines.[5][7][8] theMystery.docMcIntosh's second novel, the 1,660-page theMystery.doc, was published by Grove Atlantic on October 3, 2017. He began working on it shortly after Well was published in 2003.[13] It tells the story of an amnesiac writer trying to write an ambitious follow-up novel to a previous work. It contains many subplots, unusual page layouts, styles and fonts, as well as photos.[9][10] The Washington Post called it "a supersize version of Well" and said that reading it "is like wandering through a gigantic art installation."[11] BibliographyNovels
