"[Narrator Michael Stuhlbarg's] elegant performance and Aciman's sensitive writing keep things touching without ever being sentimental. Wonderful listening." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)
This program is read by Michael Stuhlbarg, the actor who played Professor Samuel Perlman in Luca Guadagnino's critically acclaimed film Call Me by Your Name.
A bonus conversation between Michael Stuhlbarg and André Aciman is included at the end of the program.
In this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide best seller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters decades after their first meeting.
No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary listeners about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as “a love letter, an invocation...an exceptionally beautiful book” (Stacey D’Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much-loved, Academy Award-winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love.
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever.
Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.
Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.

"Narrator Michael Stuhlbarg's rough, raspy voice lends a whispery intimacy to this sequel to Call Me by Your Name...." (AudioFile Earphone Award)

The perfect sequel

All of this said, the writing is deft, poetic, striking and heartbreaking, without being sentimental, and Elio and his father are written wonderfully, their vulnerability and depth of perceptions compelling, as are the characters' contemplations of Time, melancholy and uplifting at once. As with Call Me, these two characters will stay with me for a very long time. I adore Aciman's writing.
Tender and tense, performance impeccable

don't expect the same storytelling or enchantment

Getting to Elio took 3 hours of an 8 hour Audio Book. His story is almost as bad as his fathers. NOTHING in this book is remotely realistic, you want to shake all the characters that you've loved from the first book, and ask "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Sam and Mirandas story is the longest. It's aggravating and uncomfortable. Anyone going into this book thinking they were going to get an update on Oliver and Elio and their connection is sorely mistaken, when more than a third of the book is dedicated to the heterosexual fever dream of a spoiled old man in a midlife crisis and the clearly crazy woman he's been drooling over.
Then the roles essentially get reversed when you FINALLY meet up with Elio, and his story is more exhausting than the last. The author had no idea what to do with his original characters. It seems he just made new characters, placed them in bizarre extremes of any given situation and used the same names to get people to buy this book. I'm not even going to get into the Oliver story, because at this point I didn't even care any more.
If you thought you were getting a strong LGBT themed sequel to a definitive LGBT novel, you're wrong.
If you REALLY need to know what happened to these characters and don't mind how poorly you'll think of them afterwards, listen on. Otherwise, return for a credit.
Also, the narrator keeps muddying up his accents between characters and calls Elio "Ay-Lee-oh," which is deeply distracting.
Garbage
