An Instant Classic and One of the Great Love Stories of Our Time. Andre Aciman s Call Me by Your Name 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. Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the restless summer weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. It is an instant classic and one of the great love stories of our time. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Ficition. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year. A Publishers Weekly and The Washington Post Best Book of the Year. A New York Magazine Future Canon Selection. A Chicago Tribune and Seattle Times (Michael Upchurch s) Favorite Favorite Book of the Year.
