Kevin Chong is a Canadian writer based in Vancouver whose work spans literary fiction and non-fiction. His debut novel, Baroque-a-Nova (2001), was an experimental work that drew attention in Canadian literary circles. Beauty Plus Pity (2011) followed a decade later, and The Plague (2018) reimagined Camus’s classic in a modern Vancouver setting during a disease outbreak.
His non-fiction includes Neil Young Nation (2005), a book about the musician’s legacy, and two books about horse racing: My Year of the Racehorse (2012) and Northern Dancer (2014), about the famous Canadian thoroughbred. The Double Life of Benson Yu (2023) is his most recent novel. Chong’s range across genres and subjects reflects wide-ranging curiosity and a willingness to take on very different projects.
