Brash setter and solver in France drunk (2-4-4)
I believe the answer is:
in-your-face
'brash' is the definition.
'setter and solver in france drunk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'setter' could be 'i' (the person that set the crossword) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'solver' could be 'you' (the person solving the crossword) and 'you' is found in the answer.
'france' could be 'f' and 'f' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'race' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for in-your-face that I've seen before include "Impossible to ignore or avoid" , "Blatantly aggressive" , "Blatantly provocative" .)
