Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen.

Advance praise for Sentence : "In combining threads of immigration and incarceration, Daniel Genis has written a brave and uniquely American book." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Our County Friends and Super Sad True Love Story "Daniel Genis's Sentence is an immensely engaging book, full of dark humor and stunning insights on being incarcerated, but it's true power lies in the profound depiction of one man's quest to understand what this country is all about and find his identity and place in the world." --Lara Vapnyar, author of Divide Me By Zero and There Are Jews in My House "Genis was condemned to 10 years confinement in America's top security prisons for demanding money from shopkeepers to support his heroin habit. His instrument of persuasion was a dysfunctional penknife. Brilliant, sensitive, Russian and Jewish, he may have been America's most erudite prisoner. His memoir is no attention-grabbing horror story, it is an incredibly detailed and mind-blowing record of a journey through hell. Like his hero Dostoevsky, he organizes his record by subject and tells us, without a single lurid adjective, exactly how it is in the House of the Dead." --John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8 and its sequels, Advance praise for Sentence : "In combining threads of immigration and incarceration, Daniel Genis has written a brave and uniquely American book." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Our County Friends and Super Sad True Love Story "Daniel Genis's Sentence is an immensely engaging book, full of dark humor and stunning insights on being incarcerated, but it's true power lies in the profound depiction of one man's quest to understand what this country is all about and find his identity and place in the world." --Lara Vapnyar, New York Times bestselling author of Divide Me By Zero and other novels "Genis was condemned to 10 years confinement in America's top security prisons for demanding money from shopkeepers to support his heroin habit.

Synopsis
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., A memoir of a decade in prison by a well-educated young addict known as the "Apologetic Bandit" In 2003 Daniel Genis, the son of a famous Soviet émigré writer, broadcaster, and culture critic, was fresh out of NYU when he faced a serious heroin addiction that led him into debt and ultimately crime. After he was arrested for robbing people at knifepoint, he was nicknamed the "Apologetic Bandit" in the press, given his habit of expressing regret to his victims as he took their cash. He was sentenced to twelve years--ten with good behavior, a decade he survived by reading 1,046 books, taking up weightlifting, having philosophical discussions with his fellow inmates, working at a series of prison jobs, and in general observing an existence for which nothing in his life had prepared him. Genis describes in unsparing and vivid detail the realities of daily life in the New York penal system. In his journey from Rikers Island and through a series of upstate institutions, he encounters violence on an almost daily basis, while learning about the social strata of gangs, the "court" system that sets geographic boundaries in prison yards, how sex was obtained, the workings of the black market in drugs and more practical goods, the inventiveness required for everyday tasks such as cooking, and how debilitating solitary confinement actually is--all while trying to preserve his relationship with his wife, whom he recently married. Written with empathy and wit, Sentence is a strikingly powerful memoir of the brutalities of prison and how one man survived them, leaving its walls with this book inside him, "one made of pain and fear and laughter and lots of other books."
