While in graduate school Greenland contributed to the SoHo Weekly News, Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, and wrote a piece for Parade Magazine about the emerging comedy scene of the late 1970s. Before becoming a full-time writer he worked as a construction worker, lobster fisherman, and in the early 1980s, sold cable television subscriptions door-to- door in Los Angeles.

Greenland’s first produced play was Girls in Movies (1987). Six years later, he received a Kennedy Center/American Express Fund For New American Plays Award and production grant for his second play, Jungle Rot (1994). The play is about a CIA plot to assassinate the Congolese president, Patrice Lumumba, based on the CIA station chief posted in the Congo in 1960 Larry Devlin. Jungle Rot won an American Theater Critics Association Award (1996). Greenland went on to write two more plays, Red Memories (1996) and Jerusalem (2001).

In 2005, Greenland published his first novel, The Bones, which the LA Times called “a remarkable debut.” His next book, Shining City, was named as a Washington Post Best Book of 2008. Greenland published his third novel, The Angry Buddhist, in 2012. The New York Times called his most recent novel from 2015, I Regret Everything, “affecting and funny.” All four novels have been published in France.

Greenland subsequently moved back to New York from Los Angeles, where he began to write screenplays and plays. In the early 90s, he co-wrote (with Larry David) and directed a short film called The Dairy Lobbyist starring Larry David that aired on VH-1. In 1995, Greenland wrote the screenplay for the New Line hip-hop comedy, Who’s The Man?, starring Dr. Dre and Ed Lover and directed by Ted Demme. By 2003, he had returned to television writing as a writer-producer for the final season on the HBO comedy, Arli$$, and for two seasons on the HBO drama, Big Love.
