Iron Curtain: A Love Story

Case Study

Author: Graeme Macrae Burnet

2023 Longlist

London, 1965. An unworldly young woman suspects charismatic psychotherapist Collins Braithwaite of involvement in her sister’s death. 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.

About the Author:

Born in Kilmarnock, Graeme Macrae Burnet  is among the UK’s leading contemporary novelists, having achieved both critical acclaim and best-selling status around the world. He lives in Glasgow, where he studied film and English literature.

After teaching English overseas and working in the television industry, he won a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award in 2013 and now writes full-time. He is best known for his dazzling Booker-shortlisted  His Bloody Project.

Graeme is also the author of two French-set detective novels: The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau (2014) and The Accident on the A35 (2017). Booker Prize-longlisted Case Study is his fourth novel.

Nominating Library’s Comments:

Macrae Burnett has created a dynamic work that has excellent characterisation with acute observation.  The writing is layered but there is no use of superfluous words.

While the themes are profound, the style is both intriguing and playful .  He has created a book that is thought provoking and a compulsive read. –  Limerick City and County Libraries, Ireland
