Overview
Role Play is a fresh satire narrated by a wealthy young woman in Rio on the verge of a class-consciousness awakening.
Vivian is a curator, not just at her gallery gig in Rio de Janeiro, but in every aspect of her life. Her apartment has designer armchairs. Her wallet is Comme des GarƧons. Everything is selected and arranged, even her lovers and friends. In Vivianās world, everything comes in excess, including her own caustic selfawareness. As she informs us, āIām a misandrist and a misogynist,ā but she is fond of gay men, āthe one type of human you can properly get along with as equals.ā
Role Play examines the superabundances of Brazilian elitesā their art, ethics, and monied ambivalence in the face of social inequality, machismo, and violence. As sharp and sparkling as broken champagne flutes, Clara Drummondās prose is seductively frank and unflinching in its depiction of wealthās power to warp the self.
