Review:
Praise for Ben Greenman
"Brilliant and wry." -Karen Russell
"Incapable of writing anything dry or familiar or expected. He is one of the most versatile, consistently surprising writers at work today." -Dave Eggers
"He writes sentences so sharp they hurt." -Jess Walter
"What a fine and unique writer Ben Greenman is. I love his sentences, his precision. I feel like he's absorbed and digested so much great literature, distilling it all to create his own fantastic universe of stories and ideas." -Jonathan Ames
"Ben Greenman's mind contains, among other things, a literary critic, a cultural commentator, a cowboy, a satirist, a scientist, a surrealist, a nut, a genius, a child prodigy, and a poet." -Susan Minot
"Like Bruno Schulz, George Saunders, Donald Barthelme, and no one else I can think of, Greenman has the power to be whimsical without resorting to whimsy." -Darin Strauss - - ---
