Meeting at the usual place, The Shakespeare Hotel, Surry Hills, we’ll be discussing Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman.
It’s summer in northern Italy, 1983. Seventeen-year-old Elio is spending the holidays with his family when an American academic arrives. There is attraction, uncertainty and eventually sex.
The novel is a gay coming-of-age romance as well as a novel about desire, obsession and intimacy. Elio looks back on that summer knowing what he could not know at the time: that some encounters change the way we experience love forever.
