The Diary of a Rapist (New York Review Books Classics) Book

The 1960s: news of riots, war, unheard-of behavior, and rampant crime crowds the papers and the airwaves. Spurned by his wife at home and by superiors at work, a young man (not so young anymore) sits in his cramped San Francisco apartment channeling everything around him into a diary that is a perfect record of a world going to pieces. The words he overhears, the words he wants to say, swim in his head, turning into fantasies of retribution, ambition, and love. He is sorry for himself. He is angry with everyone. He takes to going out at night, slipping into other people's empty houses. He writes everything down. He is looking for something, and he fixates on a woman. Diary of a Rapist is an extraordinary picture, at once terrifying and pitiful, of a peculiarly American creep.Read More
