Alice in Bed A Novel

In "a sprightly first novel" (John Updike, The New Yorker), "fluently written . . . (in) an engaging voice" (The New York Times Book Review), Schine introduces readers to a convalescent but effervescent heroine imprisoned in the confines of a Manhattan hospital who proves that there is sometimes hilarity in the depths of infirmity.

She has contributed to The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, and The New York Times Book Review.
