Drôle de jeu is a prize winning 1945 French novel by Roger Vailland first published by Éditions Corrêa. The work explores the ironies of the French Resistance.
It was published in English in a translation by Gerard Hopkins as Playing with Fire by Chatto & Windus in 1948.[1] Although Vailland later tried to play down the autobiographical elements in the novel, these have been documented by his biographers.[2]
