Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 2003, fresh out of NYU, Daniel Genis was working in publishing as his writer father had always expected. But he was also hiding a serious heroin addiction that led him into debt and burglary. After he was arrested for robbing people at knifepoint in 2003, Daniel Genis was nicknamed the "apologetic bandit" in the press, given his habit of apologizing to his victims as he took their cash. He was sentenced to twelve years (ten with good behavior), surviving the decade by reading 1,046 books, weightlifting, having philosophical discussions with various inmates, encountering violence on a daily basis, working at a series of prison jobs, and in general observing an existence for which nothing in his life had prepared him ... Genis is the son of a famous Soviet émigré writer, broadcaster, and culture critic in Russia. He grew up in a home whose visitors included Mikhail Baryshnikov; Russian nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov; authors Kurt Vonnegut, Umberto Eco and Norman Mailer; and Czech film director Milos Forman. The education and culture so prized by his family were his lifeline during his decade in prison, and he describes in unsparing and vivid detail the realities of daily life in the New York penal system, from Rikers Island through a series of upstate institutions."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.6092 Genis Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 365.6092 Genis Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 365.6092 Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.6092 Genis Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList
