desertcart.com: Call Me by Your Name: A Novel: 9780312426781: André Aciman: Books

Review: IF YOU LOVED THE MOVIE, YOU’LL LOVE THIS EVEN MORE - I admit, it took me 3 tries to read this book- solely because I was not very familiar with the writing style. (I just recently began to read for entertainment, since nothing on social media appeals me) I got through 30 pages the first time I tried to read it but I suddenly stopped because I realized that all the words that I was reading was going in one ear and coming out the other. I didn’t want to give up on the book yet so I bought the audiobook and got through an hour of it. However, it was practically useless. I don’t know if it’s my short attention span or what but I found my self not really listening and when I did listen and focus on what was being read, I couldn’t add anything up.! So I took a two day break, and that was absolutely worth it!!! When I finally tried it the 3rd time, I was determined to finish the novel. The first part of the book were choppy, since it’s told as distant memories. It jumped back and forth from his more recent memories and to his older memories. I got confused at times but it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. I found myself falling in love with the characters and the writing style, which totally came to me as a surprise because I absolutely dreaded it in the beginning. ITS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITING STYLES NOW. Aciman has a way of vividly showing you exactly how Elio was feeling and his thoughts. I don’t want to spoil anything so let me just say one more thing, the ending is absolutely heart wrenching. I found myself crying so much, and feeling for both Elio and Oliver. IF YOU’VE WATCHED THE MOVIE - READ THE BOOK LET ME TELL U, THE END IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE BOOK! Call Me By Your Name is easily one of the best love stories ever written. I can’t wait to reread it and bring back all the memories and feelings I felt when I first read it. Even if you don’t get the writing style very well, push through it. It’s a must and if there one book you need to read in your life time, it’s this one. Totally tragic and beautiful.
Review: The most beautiful love story! - PUB DATE: 9/21/17 by Atlantic Books PAGES: 248 RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GENRE: Coming-of-Age/Contemporary Fiction/LGBTQ LITERARY AWARDS: The Publishing Triangle Award for the Ferro-Grumley Awards (2008), and Lambda Literary Award Winner for Gay Fiction (2007) SUMMARY: Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden & powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession & fear, fascination & desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration & an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera & during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, & ultimately unforgettable. REVIEW: I read this beautiful book during COVID and it is one that I will always recommend as one of my favorite heart-wrenching love stories! The movie (starring Timothee Chalamet) is a book to screen adaptation I adore and have I’ve seen probably 100 times. Director Luca Guadagnino beautifully brings this tale of first love and self-realization to life! Equally exquisite is the Northern Italian countryside & architecture that fills almost every scene. I highly suggest reading the sequel, “Find Me,” which takes you into the future lives of Oliver, Elio, and Elio’s father. This is one of my top 5 books of all time, including the movie! *swoon!* Happy Reading! 🍑

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***T on June 28, 2018*

Ich habe das Buch nach Jahren wieder gelesen (engl. OV). Ich hatte eine gewisse Angst, was mich wieder erwartet, wenn ich die Geschichte noch einmal auf mich wirken lasse, nachdem sie mich damals noch über Wochen nach Beendigung der Lektüre ergriffen, mitgenommen und im Innersten berührt hatte. Ich hatte das Buch im Regal stehen, Jahre nicht mehr gelesen, doch es hat mich nie losgelassen, immer subtil verfolgt. Also habe ich mich, nachdem ich es immer wieder in der Hand hatte, nochmal darauf eingelassen und wurde wieder schier überwältigt von der Dichte und emotionalen Nähe, mit der Aciman seine Figuren, insbesondere natürlich Elio, zum Leben erweckt. Das Buch ist streckenweise nicht leicht zu lesen, da die Sätze lang sind und oft in Analogien und Metaphern die Gefühlswelt von Elio ausgedrückt und vertieft wird (ich kann das nur für die engl. Fassung sagen, die dt. habe ich nicht gelesen). Aber wenn man sich darauf einlässt, sinkt man nach einigen Seiten unglaublich tief in die Geschichte ein. Man riecht, schmeckt, fühlt und sieht die Sommerszenerie Siziliens, die zunehmend reifen Früchte, die drückende Hitze des Sommers. Und man merkt mit etwas Glück plötzlich, dass man angefangen hat, Elio selbst zu sein - das man sein Verlangen, seine Sehnsucht, die Selbstzweifel und Unsicherheit, die Angst vor Zurückweisung ,die flirrende Aufregung vor der ersten Nacht und die aus dieser Begegnung resultierende lebenslange Sehnsucht selbst erlebt. "Time makes us sentimental. Perhaps, in the end, it is because of time that we suffer." Dieser Satz aus dem Buch bringt für mich die Geschichte auf den Punkt. Ich bin selten, vielleicht nie, in ein Buch persönlich so abgetaucht wie in dieses. Es weckt Erinnerung, Bedauern, Nostalgie, aber auch tiefe Dankbarkeit für das, was das Leben geben kann, wenn man das Glück hat, eine große erste Liebe kennenzulernen. Und erst in der Rückschau wird deutlich, wie prägend und formend eine Begegnung gewesen sein kann. Die letzten beiden Abschnitte der späteren Treffen von Elio und Oliver konnte ich nur mit einem dicken Kloß im Hals lesen. Weil ich wusste wie es endet und eigentlich nicht wollte, dass es so endet. Doch "das" ist das Leben, und manche wirklich prägenden Abschnitte leben nur in der Erinnerung weiter und lassen sich nicht zurückholen, auch wenn sie unseren ganzen weiteren Weg beeinflussen. Man muss sich auf den sehr intimen, sehr philosophischen Schreibstil Acimans einlassen wollen. Wenn man das tut, erwartet einen vielleicht das Buch fürs Leben.
