    • Trivia
      His novel about the Holocaust, Wartime Lies, almost became one of Stanley Kubrick 's last films; the director turned the book into a screenplay called Aryan Papers and had cast Johanna ter Steege and Joseph Mazzello in the lead roles. Kubrick abandoned the project as he considered it too similar to Schindler's List (1993) which Steven Spielberg was making around the same time.
