Sentence: Ten Years and a Thousand Books in Prison by Daniel Genis

2.5

2.5 I found it informative but not that compelling. Organizing around the literature was a creative touch, but the connections between the lit and the experience should then have been stronger. This structure creates a distance between the author and his cell mates, as if his experience were from an outside perspective or of an investigative/undercover journalist. "I am with them but not of them." Perhaps this is his way of handling his experience?
