Book Reviews of Call Me by Your Name: A Novel

Book Review: Sweet Story - Maddeningly Told
Summary: 3 Stars

The author is more interested in what is going on in the head of the narrator, a 17 year old boy, then the sensibilities of the reader.
We are frequently presented with his endless, circular parsing of every nuance and desire. What it is, what it isn't. What Elio thinks it is, what Elio thinks Oliver thinks it is. What Elio thinks it is and what he wants Oliver to think it is. What Elio thinks about what Oliver thinks about what Elio wants him to think. Whether Oliver is even playing the thinking game. We run into this over and over, throughout the story.
It might have been better as a short story - or a novel with a little bit more richness in the narrative, and less .
Still, it was a sweet story. There are some Beautiful passages and some inspired understanding. If the intention was to establish Elio as the only point of view it did so masterfully.
Favorite Line "...you have added an annual ring to my soul."

Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. Andr? Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.
