Description

A genuine tale of obsessive love embracing obsessive hate, Give Me All You Have stories the author’s unusual and painful experience in the hands of the former pupil, a self styled “verbal terrorist,” who started attempting, in her terms, to “ruin him.” Hate email, on-line posts, and public allegations of plagiarism and sexual misconduct were her weapons of preference and, just like more traditional terrorist weapons, proved extremely hard to fight. Wayne Lasdun’s consideration, while frightening, is told with empathy and wit, and wonderfully succeeds in converting a very personal tale right into a serious meditation on topics as diverse as chaos, competition, Middle-East politics, and this is of recognition and status in the Web era.
