Daniel Genis is the son of Russian immigrants who came to the USA in 1977; he was born the following year. His father is Alexander Genis, a well-known Russian public intellectual & author. Daniel attended Stuyvesant high school & NYU, graduating in 1999. Genis began a career in publishing at the same time as selling blow & getting hooked on dope. He read the entire corpus of writing from antiquity and had moved to the Middle Ages when narcotics interfered. After a very desperate summer week of 2003, Genis was convicted of five counts of robbery and sent to prison for ten years. His time in Maximun Security as a New Yorker-reading smarty-pants & prison-yard weight lifter was good fodder for a journalistic career & the memoir ‘Sentence; Ten Years & a Thousand Books in Prison‘, released by Viking on February 22nd, 2022. Today he's been free and clean since his release in 2014 & lives happily with his wife Petra Genis in Brooklyn, NY.
