Following his early start, Yglesias continued writing novels throughout his career. His best known works in addition to A Happy Marriage are probably Dr. Neruda’s Cure for Evil, about a psychiatrist who draws on his own history of trauma to attempt an unorthodox cure of his patients, and The Wisdom of Perversity, which examines the after-effects of child sexual abuse on its victims. The past’s intrusion on the present has been identified as an abiding theme in Yglesias’s work.
From 2014 to 2016, Yglesias worked on Aquarius, created by John McNamara and starring David Duchovny, ultimately writing five episodes of the two-season series.
Yglesias turned to television writing in the mid-2000s when with the screenwriter Tom Schulman he adapted The Anatomy of Hope, a nonfiction book by Jerome Groopman about the psychological experience of illness, for HBO.

His film Dark Water is a remake of a J-horror film of the same name and was directed by Walter Salles.
He married Margaret Joskow in 1977. Their sons are journalist Matthew Yglesias and novelist Nicholas Yglesias. Joskow’s illness and death from cancer formed the basis of Yglesias’s critically acclaimed novel A Happy Marriage, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 2009. He married Donna Redel in 2013; they separated in 2014 and subsequently divorced. He is now married to the novelist Ann Packer and lives in New York.
