He has published five short story collections, four novels (including Elle which won the 2003 Governor-General's Award for Fiction), three books of essays, and The Enamoured Knight, a monograph on Don Quixote and novel form. His 1993 novel, The Life and Times of Captain N., was edited by Gordon Lish and released by Alfred A. Knopf.[1] His most recent book is an essay collection, The Erotics of Restraint: Essays on Literary Form (Biblioasis, 2019).

He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from York University in 1969 and an M.Litt. in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh in 1971. He taught philosophy at the University of New Brunswick in 1971–72 and then worked as a reporter and editor on newspapers in Saint John, New Brunswick; Peterborough, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, until 1979. In 1982, he received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa's Iowa Writers' Workshop.

He has taught at Skidmore College, Colgate University, Vermont College of Fine Arts, and the University of Albany. He was the 2005 McGee Professor of Writing at Davidson College. He has been writer-in-residence at University of New Brunswick, Saint Thomas University, the University of Lethbridge and Utah State University. From October 1994 to October 1996, he was host of a weekly radio interview program called The Book Show at WAMC in Albany, NY. From 1994 to 2006, he edited the annual anthology Best Canadian Stories. From 2010 to 2013, he wrote regularly for the international affairs magazine Global Brief.[2] In 2010, he founded the online literary magazine, Numéro Cinq, which he edited until it ceased publication in August 2017.

He has two sons Jacob Glover and Jonah Glover.[3][4][5]
