Michael Bennett used to have a hospital, a profession, and a life that did not require him to think about the price of coffee. Now he lives above a laundromat in Toronto and qualifies for an occupational recovery study because "functional decline" is the cleanest phrase anyone has found for what happened to him.
At Dunbar Clinical Research, Michael becomes first a participant, then a peer-support worker. The routines help. So do the boundaries. But when he begins looking at the study's history, he finds an archive of good intentions, altered methods, simplified summaries, and people whose recovery was sometimes measured more neatly than it was lived.
The Clean Version is a contemporary literary novel about work, medicine, shame, recovery, and the human cost of making complicated lives fit clean explanations.
