Recenzja
"The book is incredible. My wife [Elizabeth Chambers] calls it the sexiest book she's ever read. It humanises love in a really powerful, beautiful way."--Armie Hammer, Time Out (London)
"I loved the movie...and the book completely blew me away!"--Marc Jacobs on Instagram
"I finally read André Aciman's deeply moving novel Call Me by Your Name, racing to do so before I saw Luca Guadagnino's (sublime) movie adaptation with its sensitive screenplay by James Ivory--and I adored it."--Hamish Bowles, Vogue.com (Best Books We Read All Year)
"Superb...The beauty of Aciman's writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone."--Charles Kaiser, The Washington Post Book World
"An extraordinary examination of longing and the complicated ways in which we negotiate the experience of attraction....It's startling that a novel so bracingly unsentimental--alert to the ways we manipulate, second-guess, forestall, and finally reach stumblingly toward one another--concludes with such emotional depths."--Mark Doty, O, The Oprah Magazine
"This novel is hot...a love letter, an invocation, and something of an epitaph....An exceptionally beautiful book."--Stacey D'Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review
"If you are prepared to take a hard punch in your gut, and like brave, acute, elated, naked, brutal, tender, humane, and beautiful prose, then you've come to the right place."--Nicole Krauss, author of The History of Love
"A great love story...every phrase, every ache, every giddy rush of sensation in this beautiful novel rings true."--Michael Upchurch, The Seattle Times
"The novel is richly, sensuously detailed...luminous....Aciman deftly charts a burgeoning relationship that both parties want and fear."--Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe

In the 80s, based on the Italian Riviera, 17 year old Elio falls deeply and irrevocably in love with Oliver, an older scholar who had come to get assistance from Elio's father for his manuscript that was to be published soon. During his stay for over six weeks with Elio's family, he evokes this swooning passion in the young boy with his charming conversation skills and very American manners. It is with great care that Aciman has directed the narrative through Elio, his burning desire for Oliver which sometimes resembled that of borderline obsession of a young boy. These profound feelings of desire on Elio's part were romantically magnified with the slightest of touch and the most mundane of events by the author. Through the characters of Elio's parents, Aciman makes way for the lovers to experience the deep aches of love and heartache in young love without any societal impediment. Aciman's words are kindred to those of a beautiful gust of wind and his characters are free in their choices of love and living. The memories of adoration and Italy amalgamated and took me into a trance that I didn't want to step out of. This is truly what a novel about romance should feel like, with its unexplainable heartbeats in the gut and feverish longing all wrapped up with incessant passion.

A primeira coisa que me fez perceber que este livro não é para todo mundo foi sua honestidade. Talvez honestidade seja uma palavra simples demais para o jeito que a história foi narrada sem medo, sem pudor, sem qualquer inibição. Do mesmo modo em que os dois personagens se entregam completamente um ao outro, a escrita é feita de intimidade e vulnerabilidade completas, de filosofia e poesia, e de detalhes reais e fantasiosos, idealizados, eróticos, românticos, dolorosos e vergonhosos. Ela abraça todas as emoções do Elio, das mais intensas e obsessivas às mais simples e impulsivas, sem medo de entregar demais. Foi extremamente corajoso do autor escrever esse livro como seu primeiro.
E foi uma honra ler esse livro, fazer parte dessa intimidade que não era minha. Fiquei impressionada quando percebi a quantidade de emoções diferentes que eu tinha já sentido e reconheci no Elio, e mais ainda quando vi quantas sentia em poucas frases. Fiquei ansiosa, plena e feliz, ri às vezes, para frases abaixo perceber toda a tristeza da situação e logo em seguida ser consolada pela beleza desse amor existir. Foram tantas emoções mesmo, que terminei chorando meus olhos fora (choro super fácil com livros, mas esse consegue tirar lágrimas até de quem não chora), daquele tipo de choro que é mais emotivo do que racional. É até um pouco assustador ver meu próprio luto pelo final da história, ainda que ele me dê certo consolo. Não foi só nessa hora que chorei como se tivesse perdido algo valioso que nunca encontraria de novo. Minha parte favorita é a conversa do Elio com seu pai perto do final, e, ainda que o livro já não tivesse me dado nada para pensar ou para sentir antes, ele teria valido completamente a pena só por ela.
É difícil dizer se recomendo o livro. Recomendo, é claro, mas tenho medo de fazê-lo cair em mãos de quem não o entenderá ou merecerá. O texto parece difícil de longe, com frases e parágrafos longos, mas que eu lia como se pensasse junto com Elio, quase freneticamente. As falas também são misturadas às vezes em narração, de vez em quando sem qualquer indicação, o que eu achei ótimo, na verdade, não cheguei a ficar confundida sobre quem falava. Nunca poderia imaginar que isso me agradaria, principalmente porque não é do tipo de coisa que agrada a maioria das pessoas. Como eu falei, um livro que fica com você, que te faz repensar muita coisa, invejar dor e se entregar à história. Não é para todo mundo.
Call Me By Your Name, by André Aciman, is the story of seventeen year old Elio as he spends his summer in the Italian Riviera and meets Oliver, an American college graduate, guest of his father. What sparks between both is none other than the tension of two people who feel an undeniable attraction for each other, yet fear what may be hidden in the depths of their hearts if they delve further. The internal banter Elio holds with himself, alongside the romance that blooms and the mesmerizing writing style of Aciman make this novel a time stopping read that leaves readers gasping for breath at every turn of the page.
The story is told as if Elio was remembering years later everything that happened that summer of 1987. This nostalgia impregnated in the words makes for a nice and smart outlet to prevent the romance from falling into the over-used and tiring archetype of 'insta-love'. Despite everything going down in just a time span of six weeks, it feels fleshed out and organic, a painting crafted from the harmony of all colors.
A surprising element this novel has, which is what makes it stand out from others similar to it, is the intensity packed in merely two hundred and fifty pages. Rather than rely on dialogue, Aciman decides to narrate everything through Elio's internal monologue and the acute representation of falling in love is executed so masterfully, the intensity is sometimes even scary. He manages to capture the sexual tension and the desires Elio feels so accurately, everyone, no matter their sexual orientation will see themselves in him at one point or another of their lives. This went so far that, at times, it felt autobiographical.
Yet this story is not only about the beauty of love, but rather about the toxicity of infatuation. And underlying all those themes are the pillars of a problematic society we still live in today: the demons that are bred by the world and left to hatch inside teens who have no one to look up to, who feel as if being gay is wrong, shameful and reprehensible. After Elio has sex with Oliver, he feels guilt for having slept with another man. The saddest part of it all is how a portrayal of life thirty years ago is still applicable today with no alteration what so ever, for those engulfing waves of shame still have to be swum against by many LGBT+ people today.
In the end, Call Me By Your Name is a goodbye letter, from beginning to end: a futile attempt at forgetting and moving forward that will make most readers feel grateful they could overcome that first romance and learn to love again. This masterpiece crafted by Aciman leaves readers with a bittersweet aftertaste, feeling both hollow and fullfilled, for it is not fair. Not fair for two people who left such marks on each other to be unable to move on, their hearts forever dazed in the summer haze of 1987 in the Italian Riviera, with only the cicadas and waves of the sea as background music.
