Stalking remains popular today. Edel Kennedy writes in the Irish Independent that "Our modern attitude to love and relationships is breeding a generation of lusty stalkers," and quotes Bran Nicol's recently released Stalking from Reaktion Books: "Stalkers can find it particularly hard to read the implicit codes."
John Allemang recently reviewed Bran Nicol's Stalking in the Globe and Mail. Allemang praises the "lively work," which shows how ". . . our cultural artifacts not only reflect our growing social anxieties but also come to define them."
While Allemang points out that the Greek gods could be the original stalkers, he credits Nicol with successfully analyzing our current "Age of Stalking:" "Nicol builds a strong case that our era has aided and abetted a peculiar obsession to the point where it is accepted as an everyday phenomenon."
