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. 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. André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Worth the Read
I just started reading gay literature and I am glad this book was recommended to me by a friend as it set me off searching for others like it. Being younger gay man myself I found tons of relatable moments in the story and at parts had me so entwined with the characters that I went through the emotions right along with them. This novel captures the beauty of exploring human intimacy and how its effects can ripple out through a lifetime.
Rating: - the obsession of a first love
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME captures so much of the novel in its title.The sickening all-consuming illness of total obsession when your sexuality awakens to an actual human being and you are lead by forces that are neither human nor spiritual even before the physical contact is made; the scent of the sheets where he has slept, the clothes he has worn, the stores he has entered; these are an intoxicating alcohol that the physical contact will eventually make sober.It is a dream, a passion and sorry am ...

Rating: - Destined to be a classic in gay literature
This book is amazing in its beauty. I thought about getting and reading it after I saw it on the NYTBR notable book list a year or two ago.I recall reading a review of it around that time that celebrated its honesty and emotional intensity.Why I just now got around to the reading is an unknown but, to coin one, better late to the party than missing completely.
This exquisite novel, by Andre Aciman, celebrates life and youth and the endless possibilities of both--detailing both "paradise" ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful and Articulate
This novel is amazing.There is so much pop fiction out there today plus writers who attempt major projects just to achieve a schools try attempt.Andre Aciman has, with what seems like total ease, produced a literary, intelligent, articulate and beautiful piece of work here.It is the coming of age story of Elio, a very sensitive and intelligent 17 year old who experiences his first true love at his family's Italian Mediterranean home one summer.Every year a scholar resides with the family and he becomes ...

Rating: - Greatly moving and affecting... Lingers with you long after it's done.
This has quickly climbed to become one of my all-time favorites! I don't recall crying while reading a book before, as I did while reading this. And it's not because it was terribly sad, but because it touched me in places I have long thought have died in me. (I was awfully sad, too, to have it end, perhaps one of the greatest compliments I can give a book.)
This book is what I dreamed of encapsulating back when I still dreamt... And for making me realize that I can still ache in those ways, I am grateful.
