But um the Times of London has published many, many pieces about Jason Arde beginning back in twenty twenty three.
podcast-host
I think beginning back in twenty twenty three when he was appointed to uh his professorship at Cambridge.
podcast-host
And Sarah Didham wrote a piece on July 6th.
podcast-host
Um it was a book review of his then forthcoming book.
podcast-host
I don't actually know if the book's been polled or not, but um, which uh was being sort of eviscerated uh by many in the media for its obvious shortcomings and uh apparently blatant falsehoods.
podcast-host
And then uh he apparently
podcast-host
Uh killed himself on august fourteenth after having resigned uh his professorship.
podcast-host
And three days later, uh, she writes this piece, uh, which is titled Was It Wrong to Write So Much About Jason Ar Day?
podcast-host
And she does a good job right up top of just describing what some of the situation was.
podcast-host
So let's let's start there.
podcast-host
Being at the center of a media storm is isolating and horrible, but the academics' plagiarism had become a serious story that deserved scrutiny.
podcast-host
So that's him.
podcast-host
By Jason Arde's own account, he experienced a lot of bad luck in his life.
podcast-host
He had tumors in his brain, according to his memoir Great and Unfortunate Things, which I reviewed for the Times, and one in his testicle, according to the proposal for that book.
podcast-host
He was randomly beaten up by four youths, leaving him with epilepsy.
podcast-host
I could find no contemporary reports to corroborate this.
podcast-host
He was hit by a car and comatose for months.
podcast-host
Another story that was in the proposal, but not the final text.
podcast-host
Unpicking the truth, or otherwise, of these claims has become a national sport over the last four weeks.
podcast-host
Our day's biggest piece of bad luck though is unquestionable.
