About this listen

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 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.

Listened to the book in about 2 days. While it was interesting I am not sure about what the point of it was. I expected more interconnection between the notebooks and the psychiatrist. Still I would recommend.

Interesting but not sure what the point was

I nearly gave up on this book which had a slow, not to say dull, start. It quite suddenly devolved in terms of the characters and plot with me thoroughly enjoying it.

Keep with it

it had yo be good as I properly believed in the characters. so much so I googled the therapist- like he really was a contemporary of Laing I'd never heard of. a lost late 1950s beatnik wild child.

Psychological 20th century drama about therapy

Macrae Burnet plays with the reader in this great tale of a renegade psychiatrist in 1960’s London. Fiction written as a biography taken from diary records, the story flows easily during the entire listen. The story questions who we are as individuals to ourselves and to others.

Thoroughly recommend this and the presentation is flawless.

As Good as His Bloody Project
