A dark-humor, true-crime memoir, Almost Rapist is a story told against the backdrop of the Great Recession when
Jöyce, a lapsed cult member, lands a Craigslist job assisting an Oscar-winning composer, filmmaker, and jingle writer on the eve of what she finds out is his Supreme Court rape trial
following a near-deadly stroke. While her employer laments his physical recovery as the sole obstacle to his artistic and romantic comeback, Jöyce unravels mounting sexual-assault charges from newspaper accounts as reporters appear near her boss's Upper East Side apartment. Legal inquiries…surveillance…deception…private investigators posing as lovers and victims…murder…and greed…all converge in this stunning debut that strikes at the core of the Sacred Human State grappling with a world that's been built for Commerce.
