    <![CDATA[<em>Call Me by Your Name </em>is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' house, a cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference to the other. But during the warm, languorous summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and 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 and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and on a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<br/><br/>The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured as in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. <em>Call Me by Your</em> <em>Name </em>is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Call Me by Your Name </em>is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' house, a cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference to the other. But during the warm, languorous summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and 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 and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and on a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<br/><br/>The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured as in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. <em>Call Me by Your</em> <em>Name </em>is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Call Me by Your Name </em>is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' house, a cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference to the other. But during the warm, languorous summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and 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 and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and on a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<br/><br/>The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured as in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. <em>Call Me by Your</em> <em>Name </em>is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm in two minds about this book. I found it a lot of it self-indulgent, sub-Brodkeyean word playing, without any of the emotional charge and depth that Brodkey provides.

    <![CDATA[<em>Call Me by Your Name </em>is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' house, a cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference to the other. But during the warm, languorous summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and 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 and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and on a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<br/><br/>The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured as in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. <em>Call Me by Your</em> <em>Name </em>is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I found this deliberately beautiful book a bit taxing. Aciman has absorbed Proust through every pore; at points I feared it had poisoned him. The 17-year-old narrator is (too) precocious and privileged, and he takes far too long to yield to his exquisite (and endlessly articulated) whorls of desire....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3007991">more...</a>]]></body>
