Call Me By Your Name [upd] ◎ | Complete |

The Sun-Drenched Longing of Call Me By Your Name Few stories in recent memory have captured the visceral, aching beauty of first love quite like Call Me By Your Name . What began as André Aciman’s 2007 debut novel transformed into a cultural phenomenon with Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 film adaptation. Set against the backdrop of a "somewhere in Northern Italy" during the hazy summer of 1983, it is a narrative that transcends the tropes of "coming-of-age" to become a profound meditation on memory, desire, and the courage required to feel.
