New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007. 1st Edition. Octavo, publisher's ocher cloth, spine stamped in black, original illustrated dust jacket.
"'We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!'" Acclaimed author André Aciman’s first novel. Set over a summer in 1980s French Riviera, Call Me By Your Name explores themes of love, identity, and the meaning of intimacy, and was the basis for the 2017 film of the same name, by Luca Guadagnino, and starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer. Both brutal and beautifully written, the novel was a breakthrough for the Egyptian-born Italian American writer and literature professor, earning him the 2007 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction and an international readership. First printing, with complete number row to copyright page. Spine slightly rolled, else fine in unclipped dust jacket. Item #12955
