Books by André Aciman

Now a major motion picture! During a restless summer on the Italian Riviera, a powerful romance blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest, Oliver. Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls 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 during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

In this spellbinding new exploration of the varieties of love, the author of Call Me by Your Name lets us back into his characters' lives years after their first meetingIn Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist.

The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened and what won't.

I opfølgeren til Call Me by Your Name møder vi atter nogle af de personer, vi kender så godt, nu 25 år senere. Elios far, Samuel, er fraskilt og på vej til Rom for at besøge Elio, der nu er en anerkendt klassisk pianist. I toget falder han i snak med den unge Miranda, et tilfældigt møde der bliver fuldkommen livsomvæltende. Elio flytter til Paris, hvor han indleder en intens affære, der ligeledes får afgørende konsekvenser, mens Oliver, der nu underviser på et universitet i New England og har sønner, der snart er voksne, fanger sig selv i at overveje et besøg i Europa. Find mig er en bevægende udforskning af kærligheden i alle dens omskiftelige former og udtryk, der på smukkeste vis minder os om at ægte kærlighed aldrig dør ud.

From a youthful infatuation with a cabinet maker in a small Italian fishing village, to a passionate yet sporadic affair with a woman in New York, to an obsession with a man he meets at a tennis court, Enigma Variations charts one man's path through the great loves of his life. Paul's intense desires, losses and longings draw him closer, not to a defined orientation, but to an understanding that 'heartache, like love, like low-grade fevers, like the longing to reach out and touch a hand across the table, is easy enough to live down'.Andre Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire, to probe how we ache, want and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones we want the most. We may not know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later we discover who we've always known we were.

From 'the most exciting new fiction writer of the 21st century' (New York Magazine) comes Eight White Nights, a sparkling and 'wonderfully romantic' (The Times) Christmas novel.
