Tobias Carroll interviews Ben Greenman for The Rumpus. Good things happen:

“Ben Greenman’s fiction is elusive stuff. His is a body of work that’s equally at home rooting narratives in history or playing textual games with the reader. Even his more historically-based work delves into unexpected societal corners, including post-Cold War Russia and the funk-rock scene of the 1970s. His recent collection What He’s Poised to Do provided the impetus for this conversation. Organized around the motif of letter-writing and with moods ranging from playful to scholarly, from sentimental to metafictional, it’s a fine introduction to his fiction.”
