Schine’s other novels include The Love Letter (1995), which was made into a movie starring Kate Capshaw, and Rameau’s Niece (1993), which was also made into a movie (The Misadventures of Margaret), starring Parker Posey, along with Alice in Bed (1983), To the Bird House (1990), The Evolution of Jane (1999), She is Me (2003), and The New Yorkers (2006).  In addition to her novels she has written articles for The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and The New York Times Book Review, among other publications.
