Call Me By Your Name

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman is Elio Perlman's flashback of his secret love affair with Oliver - an American student with entirely opposing personalities. The sentiments between the two characters, which range from delicate to intense, are never openly spoken but are masterfully represented through symbolic deeds. Every summer, Elio's family hosts a student for six weeks to assist Elio's father with paperwork. Oliver, an extroverted, carefree American college student who was the polar opposite of Elio's introverted nature, was Elio's summer visitor. After a few conversations, Elio knows she has affection for Oliver but is concerned that he does not share his sentiments. Elio, like an archeologist, discovers the foundation for his wants, revealing himself and clarifying his weird new feelings for Oliver.

The reader is taken on a voyage of self-discovery, human definition, and identification of his affections for a young man via the eyes of the character Elio. Call Me By Your Name transformed into a film of the same name, starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer, this love story sparked a worldwide frenzy and earned dozens of prizes and significant nominations at Oscar, Gotham, and BAFTA...
