Call Me By Your Name (PeparBack)

One Italian summer, a seventeen-year-old and his father's visiting scholar circle each other for six weeks, and André Aciman writes all of it from inside the younger man's head. The novel is built on hesitation, on what is nearly said and then withheld, and its long sentences follow thought rather than event. Heat, fruit, swimming and the small rituals of a coastal household carry as much weight as dialogue, while the closing section, set years later, reframes everything that came before. At 266 pages it is short, but it rewards slow reading rather than speed. Inside the covers: • A first-person novel of desire and hesitation over one summer • An Italian coastal setting rendered in close sensory detail • A closing section that revisits the story years afterwards • A 266-page paperback for adult literary fiction readers Suited to adult readers of literary fiction and contemporary romance, published by Atlantic Books and available at Boipoka.
