London, 1965. En verdensfjern ung kvinde mener, at en karismatisk psykoterapeut, Collins Braithwaite, har drevet hendes søster til selvmord. For at bekræfte sin mistanke antager hun en falsk identitet og præsenterer sig for ham som en klient. Løbende noterer hun sine observationer i notesbøger. Hurtigt bliver hun trukket ind i en verden, hvor hun ikke længere kan være sikker på noget. Selv hendes egen karakter. I Et casestudie præsenterer Graeme Macrae Burnet disse notesbøger blandet med sin egen biografiske forskning i Collins Braithwaite.Resultatet er en blændende – og ofte ondskabsfuld humoristisk – meditation over fornuftens, identitetens og sandhedens natur af en af de mest opfindsomme romanforfattere, der skriver i dag. Longlisted til The Booker Prize 2022

"e;I have decided to write down everything that happens, because I feel, I suppose, I may be putting myself in danger."e; London, 1965. An unworldly young woman believes that a charismatic psychotherapist, Collins Braithwaite, has driven her sister to suicide. Intent on confirming her suspicions, she assumes a false identity and presents herself to him as a client, recording her experiences in a series of notebooks. But she soon finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer be certain of anything. Even her own character. In Case Study, Graeme Macrae Burnet presents these notebooks interspersed with his own biographical research into Collins Braithwaite. The result is a dazzling - and often wickedly humorous - meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth itself, by one of the most inventive novelists writing today.

There does not appear to be anything remarkable about the fatal car crash on the A35. But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? The troubled Gorski finds himself drawn into a mystery that takes him behind the respectable veneer of a sleepy French backwater.
