Sentence: Ten Years and a Thousand Books in Prison

In 2003 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, he was sentenced to twelve years, surviving the decade by reading 1,046 books while observing an existence for which nothing in his life had prepared him. Sentence is one of the most striking prison memoirs - and memoirs in general - in recent years - written with intelligence, wit, empathy, and remarkable style.
