Davis served in the Army National Guard and graduated from Stanford University in 1962. He completed two years of graduate work in history at Columbia University before returning to Stanford as a Stegner Fellow in creative writing for the 1964–1965 academic year; thereafter, he moved to Brooklyn. While living in Brooklyn, Davis participated in the brownstoning neighborhood association that named his South Brooklyn neighborhood of Boerum Hill , where he owned his own brownstone and rented out another nearby home to tenants. He was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1975 to write fiction, but then began to write journalism, notably for Harper's Magazine Gerald Loeb Award for Magazines for a two part story on the Hunt brothers' attempt to corner the world silver market .[5] [6]
Davis died at his home in Brooklyn on April 5, 2011.[7]
