** LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2022 **
'I have decided to write down everything that happens, because I feel, I suppose, I may be putting myself in danger.'
London,
1965. An unworldly young woman suspects charismatic psychotherapist
Collins Braithwaite of involvement in a death in her family. Determined
to find out more, she becomes a client of his under a false identity. But she soon finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer
be certain of anything.
In Case Study,
Graeme Macrae Burnet presents both sides: the woman’s notes and the
life of Collins Braithwaite. The result is a dazzling, page-turning and
wickedly humorous meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth
itself, by one of the most inventive novelists writing today.
