Role Play by Clara Drummond

We chased after an early copy of this novella, Role Play by Clara Drummond (Clara’s first to be translated to English) and fell in love with it very quickly. Role Play examines the superabundances of Brazilian elites— their art, ethics, and monied ambivalence in the face of social inequality, machismo, and violence. It’s twisted, gorgeously catty, and as Lily Hunter blurbed: brilliantly written in the spirit of Clarice Lispector. Translated from Portuguese by Daniel Hahn, published by FSG Originals.
