À propos de cet audio

A true story of obsessive love turning to obsessive hate, Give Me Everything You Have chronicles the author's strange and harrowing ordeal at the hands of a former student, a self-styled "verbal terrorist", who began trying, in her words, to "ruin him". Hate mail, online postings, 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.

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, Middle East politics, and the meaning of honor and reputation in the Internet age.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This subtle, compassionate take on the subject is rife with insights into the current cyberculture's cult of anonymity, as well as the power, failure, and magic of writing." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A horrifying cautionary tale that reveals the vast dimensions of our vulnerability in the cyber age." ( Kirkus Reviews)
" Give Me Everything You Have is a reminder, as if any were needed, of how easily, since the arrival of the Internet, our peace can be troubled and our good name besmirched." (J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize-winning author of Diary of a Bad Year)

Les plus pertinents
Out of the 7ish hours of this audiobook, maybe 2.5 are actually about his experience with a cyber stalker/harasser and those parts are interesting but the rest is just ponderously pointless. I had to frequently remind myself what I was listening to because it had been so long since he was on topic I had forgotten what the book was supposed to be about - I'd find myself wondering why the hell I was listening to a history of Israel. If there was any point to his endless ramblings about D.H.Lawrence and Judas Iscariot and Sigmund Freud and Jerusalem then I missed it entirely.

Mostly not about stalking
