Graeme Macrae Burnet chats to Paul Burke about the concluding volume of the Gorsky trilogy A CASE OF MATRICIDE, Simenon, Zola, small town France & Kilmarnock. A CASE OF MATRICIDE: Chief Inspector Gorski returns … In the unremarkable French town of Saint-Louis, a mysterious stranger stalks the streets; an elderly woman believes her son is planning to do away with her; a prominent manufacturer drops dead. Between visits to the town's hostelries, Chief Inspector Georges Gorski ponders the connections, if any, between these events, while all the time grappling with his own domestic and existential demons.Graeme Macrae Burnet once again pierces the respectable bourgeois façade of small-town life in this, the concluding part of his trilogy of Gorski novels. He injects a wry humour into the tiniest of details and delves into the darkest recesses of his characters' minds, but above all provides an entertaining, profound and moving read.Graeme Macrae Burnet is one of the UK's brightest literary talents. His second novel, His Bloody Project, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2016, won the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year Award 2016, and was shortlisted for the LA Times Book Awards 2017. It has been published around the world. His fourth novel, Case Study, was longlisted for the Booker Prize 2022. The two previous novels in Graeme's Gorski trilogy have also received widespread critical praise and have become cult-like classics in several countries for their multilayered references and metafictional elements.Recommendations Georges Simenon Maigret, Roman Durs, Mo Hayder The Treatment, Alba de Céspedes Forbidden Notebook Paul Burke writes for Monocle Magazine, Crime Time, Crime Fiction Lover and the European Literature Network, Punk Noir Magazine (fiction contribution).

A Doestoevsky short story goes viral on Tik-Tok, and we talk to A Case of Matricide author Graeme Macrae Burnet about proxies, accomplices, and doppelgangers in the not-so-quiet French town of Saint Louis.

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to previous guest, the writer Graeme Macrae Burnet, to hear all about his latest novel A Case Of Matricide, which is the final book in the Georges Gorski trilogy (all published on the Contraband imprint of Saraband), which are described as "a series of novels set in the unremarkable French town of Saint-Louis", but to say there is so much more is the biggest understatement. Before giving a brief synopsis of A Case Of Matricide Graeme talks about the trilogy as a whole and how it came about, creating the character of Georges Gorski, and how the latest novel relates to the other two. Carefully avoiding spoilers, the two then discuss the nature of the trilogy, crime novels where the crimes are not to the fore, the perils of using - and mildly abusing - a real place in the shape of Saint-Louis, telling a story through small details, and the themes they address. They also talk about the influence of 20th century European literature, naturalism versus existentialism, and the different levels to writing, and therefore reading, A Case Of Matricide. It's always a treat to talk to Graeme, one of Scots Whay Hae!'s favourite writers, someone who is always interesting in terms of how he works and why. If you are unaware of his writing, or are only familiar with his Booker-listed His Bloody Project and Case Study, then this is the perfect place to find out more, and discover the Georges Gorski Trilogy.

Graeme Macrae Burnet joins James Naughtie and readers to reveal the secrets behind his award-winning historical novel, His Bloody Project. Set in the Scottish Highlands in 1869, His Bloody Project explores crime, justice and retribution through the confessions of a young man accused of murder, and an account of his trial.Upcoming recordings at BBC Broadcasting House in London: Tuesday 26 March 1830 - Clare Chambers discusses her bestselling novel, Small Pleasures.Wednesday 24 April 1830- Nicholas Shakespeare discusses Six Minutes In May: How Churchill Unexpectedly Became Prime Minister
His Bloody Project tells the story of a fictional 19th-century triple murder in a remote crofting community, through the memoir of the accused and documents such as court transcripts, medical reports, police statements and newspaper articles. The book was shortlisted for the 2016 Booker Prize – and while Paul Beatty's The Sellout took home the award that year, His Bloody Project remained the bestseller of the bunch until the winner was announced. This week, its author Graeme Macrae Burnet joins us in the studio to tell us about the inspirations behind His Bloody Project, what it was like to be nominated for the prize again with Case Study in 2022 and what we can expect from him next. In this episode Jo and James speak to Graeme about: The plot of His Bloody Project and the real-life inspiration behind it How the Booker Prize transformed his writing career The power of ambiguity and allowing readers to make up their own minds Why thinking about readers' reactions while writing can undermine the authenticity of a story Why he doesn't plan his novels, so the process of writing remains somewhat of a mystery His lifelong fascination with the idea of madness and how views of mental health have changed over the centuries What we can expect from him next Reading list: His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet The Sellout by Paul Beatty Hot Milk by Deborah Levy Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh All That Man Is by David Szalay Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien I, Pierre Riviére, Having Slaughtered My Mother, My Sister, and My Brother edited by Michel Foucault Madness and Civilization by Michel Foucault Case Study by Graeme Macrae Burnet A full transcript of the episode is available at our website.

Graeme Macrae Burnet is the author of the Booker shortlisted His Bloody Project, Booker longlisted Case Study, The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau and The Accident on the A35.He is currently working on his next novel, which will complete the Gorski trilogy, featuring his French detective, Georges Gorski.We had a really fascinating and fun chat with Graeme, hearing about how it took until he was 46 to publish his first novel and the huge impact being shortlisted for the Booker prize for His Bloody Project changed the course of his writing career. We also talk about his love of playing with form and why his novels all have a "meta" element in some way, as well as hearing how the words don't always flow easily, and how he deals with that.Links:Buy Graeme's booksVisit Graeme's websiteFollow Graeme on TwitterOut now - a new video podcast from Page One featuring all the latest writing news - Page One Extra!

Graeme Macrae Burnet's novels are something different: not-so-true crime stories that blur the line between documentary and fiction. The Scottish writer's 2015 book, His Bloody Project – set in the Highlands during the 19th century – was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, while his most recent title, Case Study, has been called "a page-turning blast, funny, sinister and perfectly plotted." It takes place in 1960s London and follows a young woman drawn into the world of an unorthodox psychotherapist.

In dieser Folge mit Anika, Meike und Robin: „Vertraulichkeiten“ von Max Lobe, „Treue“ von Hernan Diaz und „Fallstudie“ von Graeme Macrae Burnet. Unser Thema im Vorgeplänkel macht fassungslos: Vergangene Woche wurde der Schriftsteller Salman Rushdie bei einer Lesung in New York mit einem Messer attackiert und liegt seitdem im Krankenhaus. Grund für diese verabscheuungswürdige Tat ist eine mehr als 30 Jahre alte Fatwa.

Scottish author Graeme Macrae Burnet talking about his new book, Case Study, with literary journalist Jane Sullivan.
For the latest SWH! podcast Ali spoke to writer, and returning guest, Graeme Macrae Burnet about his latest novel 'Case Study' (published by Saraband). As with all of Graeme's books there's a lot to discuss, and the conversation turns to the life and work of R.D. Laing, the importance of research, the structure of the novel, how Graeme approaches writing, the excitement of writing a controversial character, the common threads which run though his fiction, the appeal of the cultural movements of the 1960s, and a whole lot more. They also discuss the cult of the author and the affect that has on the way books are marketed and received, and perhaps on the reader as well. It's always great to have Graeme on the podcast, and it was such a pleasure to be able to catch up with him in real life. The result is an insightful and entertaining interview which will give you a taste of what is undoubtedly one of the best books of the year.
Graeme caught the attention of the world in 2016 when his second novel, His Bloody Project, was shorted-listed for the Booker Prize. He may not have carried off the award that year, but his book sold more than those of the other five finalists combined! It’s the week before the Booker Prize is announced, and with another Scottish author in the running, Theresa hears about the glitz and glamour of Graeme’s experience at London’s Guildhall (it will be a more modest affair this year, with no grub and booze). Graeme’s book recommendation is John Le Carre’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. This leads to an intriguing discussion on how Theresa could be a great asset for British Intelligence! Graeme’s fourth novel, Case Study (Saraband), is out next October - we’ll hear what it’s about. And if you happen upon Graeme somewhere reading old copies of the Women’s Weekly...it’s research - honest!

This year, 2020, is the 250th anniversary of the birth of the remarkable Scottish author James Hogg. To mark this we’ve decided to dedicate an episode to the Ettrick Shepherd himself, author of the celebrated novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner but also a subtle and multifaceted writer whose other work occasionally gets overlooked. We talk to Valentina Bold, a Hogg expert, as well as two authors who have been influenced by James Hogg in their work — James Robertson and Graeme Macrae Burnet.

Last year I was asked to write an introduction for a collection of modern folktales to be published by English Heritage. ----more---- The result was These Our Monsters, featuring work by Edward Carey, Graeme Mcrae Burnet, Fiona Mozley, Sarah Hall and many others. I talked to three of the authors for This Writing Life podcast. The third is Graeme Macrae Burnet, whose brilliant His Bloody Project was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Graeme's 'The Dark Thread' tackled the most infamous, and perhaps the trickiest story in the book - Bram Stoker's visit to Whitby in 1890, which is often thought to have been a turning point in the composition of Dracula. Graeme reads an early passage in the story, which shuttles fluently between the atmospheric setting of Whitby Abbey and Stoker's inner turmoil - his exhaustion, strained marriage, and tortured relationship with the actor Henry Irving. Our interview will follow, as will readings by and conversations with Graeme Macrae Burnet and Edward Carey. Graeme's website is: graememacraeburnet.com For more information on These Our Monsters, visit the English Heritage website, where you can also buy a copy. The music on the podcast is Androids Always Escape by Chris Zabriskie.

I talked to three of the authors for This Writing Life podcast. The second is Fiona Mozley, whose debut novel Elmet was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Fiona's story in 'The Loathly Lady' was inspired by the Arthurian legend of Dame Ragnelle, supposedly the most hideous woman in the world who makes a trial of Sir Gawain's chivalry. The plot is a quest to find a different sort of holy grail: the answer to the question, 'What do women want?' Fiona reads an early passage full of puns and plays on words that establish Arthur's legendary status.

Last year I was asked to write an introduction for a collection of modern folktales, myths and legends to be published by English Heritage. ----more---- The result was These Our Monsters, featuring work by Edward Carey, Graeme Mcrae Burnet, Fiona Mozley, Sarah Hall and many others. I talked to three of the authors for This Writing Life podcast. The first is Edward Carey, the novelist and illustrator whose works include the 'Iremonger Trilogy' and his fabulous novel about Madame Tussaud, Little. Edward's story 'These Our Monsters', which gives the book its title, is inspired by the legend of the Green Children of Woolpit, in Suffolk. Its extraordinary narrator is one of the villagers, whom I described (if memory serves) as two parts Gollum to one part Alf Garnet, as he attempts to make sense of this universe-altering visitation. Edward's reading more than lives up to his prose. Our interview will follow, as will readings by and conversations with Graeme Macrae Burnet and Fiona Mozley.

Graeme Macrae Burnet joins Alex Clark to discuss his novel The Accident on the A35, a new literary crime thriller. He describes the book as 'a fiction within a fiction', claiming to be not the author but the translator. Also on the programme, the life and work of South African writer Olive Schreiner, literary news from Chile and Lucy Hughes-Hallett, one of this year's judges, discusses the Sunday Times/PFD Young Writer Award of the Year Award.
For the latest podcast Ali spoke to writer and returning guest Graeme Macrae Burnet.

Graeme also looks back on life since his second novel, 'His Bloody Project' was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and all that has entailed. It's a must-listen for anyone with an interest in books, writers, and writing.
This year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival featured a series of events subtitled “a theatrical exploration”, in which well-known Scottish novels were partly staged by a director, scriptwriter and actors produced in association with Edinburgh’s Lyceum Theatre. One the three novels explored in this way was Booker-nominated His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet, who spoke to BTG editor David Chadderton about his involvement with the project on a busy final Saturday at the 2017 Book Festival. Also, Philip Fisher spoke to Milly Thomas who, after this interview was recorded, won a Stage Edinburgh Award for her performance in Dust, a self-penned piece directed by Sara Joyce for this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

Andrew Marjoribanks, Wordsworth Books gives us that chain's best in festive fiction and non-fiction, Beverley Roos Muller relishes John le Carre's autobiography 'The Pigeon Tunnel' and wonders how much of it may be fiction! Jay Heale happily suggests sort of classical Christmas reading for children, while Cindy Moritz escaped into the frenzied world of moneyed Manhattan with Jay McInerey's 'Bright, Precious Days'. Philip Todres talks to Bronwyn Law-Viljoen about 'The Printmaker' which gives her impeccable background to conjure a story that is in fact her first novel. Vanessa Levenstein swings into 'Swing Time' by Zadie Smith who explores how the shadows of childhood friendships outline our future. Melvyn Minnaar throbs to the thrill of a new discovery in 'His Bloody Project' by Graeme Macrae Burnet, and Phillippa Cheifitz chomps through three great cookbooks ending with Zita Steyn's 'Good Better Green', thus more grand greens in 'Plentiful – The Big Book of Buddha Food' as you'll hear from three of the four imaginative chefs. If we've time there's Peter Soal's timely take on Paul Hoffman's 'Confronting the Corrupt'."
HIS BLOODY PROJECT Graeme Macrae Burnet MAN WEEK AUTHOR INTERVIEW with Donna Freed If you've been living under a rock, perhaps you missed the hoopla surrounding this year's Man Booker Prize short list. It featured a "crime novel" published by tiny Scottish imprint Contraband and Graeme has since been all over the news like a rash. It is wildly well deserved as he is gorgeous, clever, talented and a bit of a literary maverick as well as superbly generous as you will hear.

In the mid-19th century, what unites the Sami people of Lapland and a band of crofters in north-west Scotland? In the fictional worlds of Cecilia Ekbäck and Graeme Macrae Burnet, each community has witnessed a brutal triple murder. Ekbäck’s In The Month of the Midnight Sun and Macrae Burnet’s 2016 Man Booker Prize shortlisted His Bloody Project are ingenious, gripping noir thrillers, and keenly awaited follow-ups to their authors’ acclaimed debuts. In this event, recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, they discuss their books with Jenny Brown.
As the Booker prize announces a shortlist that's long on surprises, we talk to Deborah Levy and assess the contenders for this year's award
In our bumper shortlist episode, we hear about the six novels which made the cut. First we head to the press conference at Man Group Plc, where host Joe Haddow speaks to BBC Arts Correspondent Rebecca Jones about what draws the books together: experimentation and unsympathetic characters. Next Joe is joined by two of this year's judges, writer and academic Jon Day and actor Olivia Williams, who compare the judging process to 12 Angry Men and describe their families as the unsung heroes of the process. Olivia talks about acting in literary adaptations and what it's like to star alongside Bill Murray, whilst Jon discusses his former career as a cycle courier! Finally we go behind-the-scenes at the Serpentine Pavilion during the shortlist party to hear reactions from Waterstones Fiction Buyer Chris White and two of the shortlisted authors. Graeme Macrae Burnet tells us the importance of independent voices in the world of literature and Deborah Levy reveals she always wears a swimming costume to parties! Join in the conversation @ManBookerPrize with #ManBooker2016 and #FinestFiction
In the latest podcast, Ali talks to writers Graham Lironi and Graeme Macrae Burnet about their latest novels (Oh Marina Girl and His Bloody Project respectively), both of which have been published on Saraband Books crime imprint, Contraband. They discuss crime fiction and subverting readers’ expectations, genre fiction and the problem with labels, the importance of editing, unreliable narration, the health or otherwise of the Scottish writing community, and what’s really important in the life of a writer. The hour or so just flew by, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. We’re calling it "a must listen for anyone interested in writing and books”, and we wouldn’t lie about something like that.
