Find Me : A Novel

Find me
Bok av André Aciman
A New York Times BestsellerIn this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller 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 readers about the nature of love than Andre Aciman's haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as "e;a love letter, an invocation . . . an exceptionally beautiful book"e; (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 Timothee 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.
Nja, denna flög inte för mig. Såna långa utläggningar om allt, tvingades hoppade över hela stycken ibland för att inte somna. Också oautentisk på ett sätt som? Romantisk men tråkig. Inte alls i klass med Call me by your name, saknade det mesta från den faktiskt.
Blev tyvärr väldigt besviken. Man får inte alls samma starka känslor som CMBYN. Första (långa) kapitalet är helt onödigt. Tidsangivelserna är oklara och förvirrande. Känns som boken inte har något syfte, utan att den bara är skriven för att ge succéfilmen en uppföljare.
