Give Me Everything You Have
Give Me Everything You Have: On Being Stalked (2013) by James Lasdun. Lasdun teaches writing, and one of his students (he calls her Nasreen) becomes obsessed with him and starts an email correspondence which evolves into a full-scale Internet assault. In this book, Lasdun meditates on his status as a stalkee, and he obviously goes through a lot of stress and anxiety as a result of her actions. I found his meditations a bit too esoteric, and would have appreciated a bit more detail about the actual stalking. I think. Anyway, this book was good, but I found it less than fully satisfying.
