In his remarkable collection of essays, False Papers (2000), Aciman tells how his father first bought him Swann’s Way when he was fifteen (“I already knew I had just received, perhaps without my father’s knowing it, his dearest, most enduring gift of love”). Even more than Roger Shattuck, who’s championed Proust in scholarly works, or Alain de Botton, who’s promoted Proustian self-help, Aciman has taken to heart the author’s injunction to use In Search of Lost Time as a personal darkroom-to dip the negatives of one’s own memories into the magic solution Proust provides. The film made me realize that I wanted to be back with them and watch them over the years - which is why I wrote Find Me.André Aciman is our consummate Proustian. Update: Aciman provided Vulture with a comment on the sequel: “The world of Call Me by Your Name never left me. Though I created the characters and was the author of their lives, what I never expected was that they’d end up teaching me things about intimacy and about love that I didn’t quite think I knew until I’d put them down on paper. With Aciman writing a new text, Hammer will have another opportunity to eat the peach! (Perhaps it would involve Dakota Johnson playing a “hoochie woman,” perhaps it would address the AIDS epidemic.) Armie Hammer - who, it must be said, broke Timothée Chalamet’s heart in the movie - broke Vulture’s heart when he said that he’s not sure “that anything will match up to the first” movie. Elio soon moves to Paris where he too has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a professor in northern New England with sons who are nearly grown, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return visit to Europe.” It will be published October 29, 2019.Īs Luca Guadagnino’s film Call Me by Your Name took off in 2017, the director said that he was interested in making a sequel.

A chance encounter on the train leads to a relationship that changes Sami’s life definitively. Per FSG: “In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father Samuel, now divorced, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist.

In Find Me, Aciman will revisit the lives of Elio, Oliver, and another member of the Perlman family.

In an announcement from publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Aciman said that he has titled the sequel to his beautiful, horny book about the summer love between Elio and Oliver.

Because not enough has been said about semen-filled peaches, and eating them, André Aciman is really and truly writing a sequel to Call Me by Your Name.
