His 1992 novel The Easy Way Out was adapted into the feature film L'Art de la fugue directed by Brice Cauvin. A film based on his fourth, True Enough, served as the basis for a French-language film in 2007, titled La Verité ou Presque.

His stories, articles and reviews have appeared in Gay Community News, Bay Windows, the Boston Phoenix, the New York Times Book Review, Vogue, House & Garden, Details, Vanity Fair, Harper's, and Travel and Leisure, among others. The writer Stephen Koch gave him the idea to begin work on his first novel. There he attended adult learning centers to take some writing classes before enrolling in Columbia University's writing program. He worked as a travel agent for many years before moving to Brooklyn in the 1980s. McCauley worked a series of unrelated jobs including teaching yoga, working at a hotel, a kindergarten, and manning an ice cream stand.
