Though Looking for Mr. Goodbar remained Rossner's best known and best selling work, she continued to write. Her most successful post-Goodbar novel was 1983's August, about the relationship between a woman and her psychoanalyst, who has more emotional troubles than her patient. Rossner died on August 9, 2005, from complications of diabetes and leukemia at the age of 70.
