He obtained his high school degree from Fairfax High School and his PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from UCLA. He teaches in the English Department at the University of Tulsa. He has taught Russian literature at his alma mater and at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. From 2016 to 2022, he was executive editor and editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Review of Books and he is the managing editor of Cardinal Points.[3]

His writings have appeared in numerous outlets such as Times Literary Supplement, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, London Review of Books, Paris Review, Granta, World Literature Today, etc. A specialist in the history of noir fiction, he has written introductions to the reissued works of Raoul Whitfield.[4][5]

In 2022, Dralyuk published his debut poetry collection My Hollywood and Other Poems with Paul Dry Books.[6][7] It was reviewed positively by Anahid Neressian in The New York Review of Books, who remarked that an "air of upbeat sorrow permeates My Hollywood. It’s an émigré mood, defined by the conviction that things could always be worse."[8]
