A TRUE STORY OF OBSESSIVE LOVE TURNING TO OBSESSIVE HATE IN THE CRUCIBLE OF THE DIGITAL AGE Give Me Everything You Have chronicles the author's strange and harrowing ordeal being stalked by a former student, a self-styled "verbal terrorist," who began trying, in her words, to "ruin him." Hate mail, online postings, anti-Semitic abuse, and public accusations of plagiarism and sexual misconduct were her weapons of choice and, as with more conventional terrorist weapons, proved remarkably difficult to combat.Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as "smart, rigorous, and beautifully written," James Lasdun's account, while terrifying, is told with compassion and humor, and brilliantly succeeds in turning a highly personal story into a profound meditation on subjects as varied as madness, race, mythology, Middle East politics, and the meaning of honor and reputation in the Internet age. - For readers of Janet Malcolm, Mary Karr, and David Carr.
