Larry Tremblay (born April 17, 1954 in Chicoutimi) is a Canadian writer from Quebec.

[1] Several of his works have also been published in English translations by Sheila Fischman, Linda Gaboriau, Keith Turnbull and Chantal Bilodeau.

[1] After completing a doctorate in theatre at the Université du Québec à Montréal, he travelled to India to study kathakali,[1] which has remained an influence on his writing.

In Le Déclic du destin, a character progressively loses body parts; in The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi, the central character recovers from aphasia only to learn that while recovering his ability to speak he has lost his native language; and in La Hache a university professor is driven insane by his obsession with ideological purity in literature.

[1] Tremblay has also taught acting at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
