Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. Andr Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.

Aciman does a wonderful job helping the reader get "lost" in the lazy-days-of-summer setting. This story is beautifully written and explores desire, love, loss, and heartbreak. ( )

Bei diesem Buch bin ich sehr gespalten, was meine Meinung angeht, deshalb hab ich keine Stern-Bewertung. Zuerst mal hab ich das Ende sehr gemocht, auf eine seltsame Art und Weise und hab geweint :(. Andererseits ist dieses Buch sehr seltsam und teilweise sehe ich nicht wirklich den Sinn hinter manchen Szenen und das ist vollkommen verständlich. If you know, you know. Ich bin froh, dass ichs gelesen habe.

In poetic, elevated prose, André Aciman has written a powerful psychological drama of two bisexual men who share their most intimate selves, intellectually, spiritually, and physically. Elio’s thoughts and emotions are depicted in vivid detail that unashamedly highlight the infatuation, lust, love, and obsession that sometimes result from a first love.

Dedication
For Albio, Alma de mi vida
First words
"Later!" The word, the voice, the attitude.
Quotations
Whoever said the soul and the body met in the pineal gland was a fool. It's the asshole, stupid.
If youth must canter, then who'll do the galloping?
Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second.
But then perhaps this is what lovers are.
All I knew was that I had nothing left to hide from him. I had never felt freer or safer in my life.
"I may have come close, but I never had what you had. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business. But remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there's sorrow. I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain." (225)
