Author Bio

Cathleen Schine

Schine was raised in the Connecticut suburbs. In her late teens, she was in an automobile accident that caused facial damage that required extensive rehabilitation and convalescence, and later in her life, she had hip replacement surgery, situations she used in her novel ALICE IN BED. After college at Sarah Lawrence and Barnard, she went to graduate school, planning to be a medievalist, but decided she didn't have the personality to be a serious academic. Studying in Florence, she said, "I'd get all itchy and bored. I'd run out and buy shoes." She began writing fiction instead.

Praise

"Schine dispatches a love letter to New Yorkers and the dogs who own them in her seventh novel....It may not play as well west of the Hudson, but the hometown dog-run crowd will find this heartfelt tribute curiously endearing." 02/26/2007
