    • Abstract:
      "Role Play" is a fiction novel by Brazilian author Clara Drummond, translated into English by Daniel Hahn. The book follows the life of Vivian Noronha, a self-proclaimed "misandrist and misogynist," as she navigates her privileged life in Rio de Janeiro. Vivian reflects on her family's history, her struggles with depression, and her observations of the abuses and hypocrisies of Brazil's classist and racist society. The novel offers a scathing assessment of the elite, portraying them as oblivious to the concerns of others, and explores themes of social inequality and the pursuit of glamour and desirability.
