She wrote her first novel, ''Sleepwalking'', a story of three college girls obsessed with poetry and death, while still an undergraduate; it was published in 1982. Her following books include ''Hidden Pictures'' (1986), ''This Is Your Life'' (1988), ''Surrender, Dorothy'' (1998), ''The Wife'' (2003), ''The Position'' (2005), ''The Ten-Year Nap'' (2008), ''The Uncoupling'' (2011), and ''The Interestings'' (2013).

She also co-authored, with Jesse Green, a book of cryptic crosswords: ''Nutcrackers: Devilishly Addictive Mind Twisters for the Insatiably Verbivorous'' (1991), and has written about the relative difficulty women writers face in gaining critical acclaim. She has taught creative writing at the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, Skidmore College, and, most recently, was a guest artist at Princeton University. Over the past decade she has also taught at both Stony Brook Southampton's MFA in Creative Writing program and the Southampton Writers Conference and the Florence Writers Workshop.〔http://www.stonybrook.edu/southampton/mfa/cwl/people.html〕 Two films have been based on her work; ''This Is My Life'', scripted and directed by Nora Ephron, and the 2006 made for television movie, ''Surrender, Dorothy''.
