"Novelist and poet James Lasdun was teaching a fiction writing course at a New York college when one of his students impressed him with her writing abilities. He served as a mentor and helped her look for a publisher, but then her interest in him crossed over into sexual advances. Though he tried to distance himself, she escalated to threats, then began posting defamatory statements on the web and sending obnoxious messages in his name. In Give Me Everything You Have, Lasdun recounts the facts, then compassionately considers what happened from several different angles."
