His experiences from his time in Saint Petersburg flowed into Schulze's first book publication. The stories in 33 Moments of Happiness (1995) are set in the vicinity of the Russian city. Schulze falls back on an editor's fiction, which ascribes his texts to a literary educated journalist from Germany who disappeared in Saint Petersburg. The volume of stories was largely received positively by the critics. His Simple Stories , published in 1998, are set in Altenburg , Thuringia , where Schulze had lived and worked; The focus is on the consequences of the turning point on the lives of his characters, the portrayal of which was attested to be lacking in any “post-turnaroundness”. The text was shaped by a style that reviewers described as merciless and precise, the author himself as "that short story tone that made things easier". Günter Grass praised Schulze as one of the "great storytellers" of the new federal states after the work was published.

After the publication of several stories, the next novel, New Life , did not follow until 2005 . It tells the story of the author and newspaper editor Enrico Türmer, who wrote to a friend, sister and lover in the year of German reunification . Schulze retires again to the position of editor who merely edited the letters that make up the novel; He is making use of a trick typical of the eighteenth-century letter novel , the reactivation of which was not unanimously welcomed by the critics. While FAZ critic Richard Kämmerlings asked: “Isn't it a bit more old-fashioned?”, Jörg Magenau from the daily newspaper saw this link as the “real highlight of the novel”. Some reviewers classified the work, not always without irony, as the long-awaited "ultimate reversal novel".

On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of his hometown Dresden, Ingo Schulze wrote an essay for MDR figaro on May 3, 2006 on the topic of "Dresden Myth" with the title Night Thoughts . Schulze also took part in the exhibition "Mythos Dresden" in the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden .

Schulze's story collection Handy. 13 old-fashioned stories that hit stores in 2007 earned almost unanimous praise. For example, Volker Weidermann in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung , compared it with Neue Leben, judged it as "more casual, simpler, quieter and simply very, very nicely written".

Schulze's acceptance speech for the award of the Thuringian Literature Prize 2007, in which he addressed the increasing importance of sponsorship in the cultural sector while the state was withdrawing from it at the same time, attracted widespread attention in the national media .

Schulze's novel Adam and Evelyn received five other finalists and a nomination for the German Book Prize 2008. In 2019 the novel was made into a film by Andreas Goldstein .

Schulze's collection of short stories Orangen und Engel , published in 2010 . Italian sketches were made in connection with the author's stay at the Villa Massimo in Rome on a grant . These are stories in which mostly simple people from the urban Roman environment are in the center; the stories present themselves as actual experiences of the author, are also told in the first person; however, they then leave this autobiographical pattern almost imperceptibly, become enigmatic and usually have an ambiguous ending.

Political statements

At the beginning of 2012, Ingo Schulze's theses against the plundering of society and his speech in Dresden against democracy in line with the market, published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, received great attention.

After the federal elections in 2013, he was the initiator and one of the first signers of the appeal “Against the Grand Coalition”, which appealed to the SPD not to re-enter a coalition government with the CDU / CSU, but a majority government with the Greens and the Left, led by the To form the SPD.
