His novels Punishment and The Only Cafe were also national bestsellers, as was his 2019 work of non-fiction, The Wake.

He has won ten Gemini awards for his work. MacIntyre lives in Toronto with his wife, CBC radio host and author Carol Off. They spend their summers in a Cape Breton village by the sea.
