Along with the "Youth" series he is the author of several other novels including Frisco Pigeon Mambo and Civic Beauties, a parody of politics in the United States, which follows the lives of teenage twin girls whose father is campaigning to be Vice President. He has also published a play titled, Queen of America: A Royal Comedy in Three Acts. Frisco Pigeon Mambo was bought by Fox Animation, but was never made into a film. Youth in Revolt was developed and distributed by Dimension Films in January 2010. Personal lifePayne was born in Akron, Ohio in 1949 (July 5). He graduated from Harvard College in 1971.
