Call Me by Your Name

“Twenty years was yesterday, and yesterday was just earlier this morning, and morning seemed light-years away.”

Oh, fine, Aciman. Just go ahead and murder me. I love being killed. Nevermind that I have to drive my mother to the airport in the morning.

Good book. Aciman packs some practically transgressive intimacy into the relationship. ‘B.' and all the details, and the plot are solid and don't feel like they're just props. Elio's experience, and what we see of Oliver's, is real and honest. When they're together everything is beautiful and nothing everything hurts. for me: 3 stars = good, tasty book. 4 stars = jesus, it was amazing. 5 stars = i don't deserve to have read it, my life has been altered, etc.
