A journey through the deepest corners of feelings and eroticism.
Call Me by Your Name has won the Lambda Literary Award, been named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post and Publishers Weekly , and is the novel on which the film Call Me by Your Name is based.
In a town on the Italian coast, during the 1980s, Elio's family established the tradition of hosting students or young artists in the summer who, in exchange for accommodation, would help the head of the family, a professor, with his cultural commitments.
This summer, Oliver is the chosen one: a young American writer who soon sparks Elio's imagination. Over the next few weeks, hidden impulses of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, will intensify his passion.
