The true story of an online writer harassed by his former prot?g?'s strange, disturbing and fascinating ...

In 2003, the English writer James Lasdun taught a fiction workshop at a university in New York. The star of the workshop was a 30 year old woman he called "Nasreen", working on a novel based on the experiences of his family in pre-revolutionary Iran. "There are seldom more than two or three students in any workshop that the authors seem natural, and they are not difficult to detect, "Lasdun writes in the first pages of his memoirs

Give me everything you have: The harassment

. "It was clear to me after a few paragraphs that Nasreen was one of them. Their language is clear and vigorous, with a different expression of fire in the most dramatic passages that make it a pleasure to read. "

Two years after the workshop is over, Nasreen email Lasdun on the final version of his novel. An epistolary relationship gradually emerged in which Lasdun forties then played a kind of mentor. Soon, however, the frequency and crush their e-mails has become worrisome - Lasdun was happily married - and began to try to get rid of correspondence. Nasreen would not budge, and the tone of their messages became increasingly dark, angry and perhaps disturbed. The "expression other than fire" language built into a hell of vengeful hatred.

This is the starting point of memory Lasdun, who is his attempt to make sense (and defend) the consequences of this relationship turns sour. Over a period of seven years, Nasreen harassing you online.

She and her colleagues have published academic contacts for Lasdun damage relationships with them. Your e-mails, meanwhile, increasingly characterized by a horrible anti-Semitism and insistent: "I think that if I can not write my book and emotionally and verbally raped by James Lasdun, a Jew in disguise Anglo-American , well, the Holocaust Industry Books everyone should be banned like in the movies. " The memory of the first third or more disturbing is that everything I read about the horrible Internet capacity to facilitate the dissemination of hatred. Much of this has to do with a strong sense if Nasreen, the total arbitrariness of this hatred. More indifferent Lasdun seems to have done nothing to provoke it might as well focused on any copyright, any other person. But perhaps the most startling revelation of the book is the idea that all that is necessary to the life of a person to be absolutely miserable is to have someone else wants it bad enough, for any reason. The Internet is the genius who grants wishes toxic. Nasreen campaign of harassment and defamation amount of a kind of trade friction malice.

As intriguing as this matter is in itself, is the Lasdun deviations from what they do for a strange and original work of fiction. There are long and idiosyncratic digressions in which the point of view of their situation through different lenses literary readings -
