Omschrijving
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted His Bloody Project, Case Study is a fast-paced, often humorous novel of mind-bending brilliance – a dazzling investigation into sanity, identity and truth itself.
'Enormous fun … a mystery and a psychological drama wrapped up in one. Case Study is a triumph.'
'Brilliant, bamboozling … Burnet captures his characters’ voices so brilliantly that what might have been just an intellectual game feels burstingly alive and engaging.'
“Sinister and cleverly done … punctures the myth-making of the period.”
“What’s real and what’s not is beside the point in this skilful portrait of a disturbed woman and her encounters with an experimental 1960s psychotherapist … Both strands quickly become compelling … I was hooked like a fish.”
'A thrilling investigation into the nature of sanity and identity'
“Poses questions about the nature of the self and the authenticity of identity … fine comic passages … shed[s] light on the dark places of the mind … He is an uncommonly interesting and satisfying novelist.”
“Undoubtedly one of the best books of the year.”
'A masterclass of diversion … blurring the lines of fiction and reality … serious and witty at once … an enthralling read.'
'A novel of mind-bending brilliance. Graeme Macrae Burnet is a master of muddying the waters, of troubling ideas of truth and identity, fiction and documentary, and Case Study shows him at the height of his powers'
