Find Me

De: André Aciman

Narrado por: Michael Stuhlbarg

In this spellbinding new exploration of the varieties of love, the author of Call Me by Your Name lets us back into his characters' lives years after their first meeting

In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Sami's visit and changes his life forever.

Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, 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 nuances of emotion that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the world of one of our greatest contemporary romances to show us that in fact true love never dies.

Do we need to be so perverse?

At best this book has beautiful quotes and interactions about the nature of the human condition and the dichotomy of loneliness verses being known. At worst it’s the author’s thinly veiled fetishes that almost made me put the book down a number of times. This sequel felt rushed as it attempted to continue what should have been a standalone series. I’m disappointed, a little yucked out, and yet, I think I’ve taken something from this. Take something from everything right?

PERFECT

"Perfect." I think there's nothing else to say about this magnificent book, to be honest.

Can't say it's a successful sequel to CMBYN

On one and another occasion I suspected this is the product of an old man's obscenity. Nevertheless, I would rather fail victim to this braw illusion. Hope that after years of departure you are still in each other's mind. Hope that true love never dies.

Mine is a practical romance

The "have you eaten" or "have you put on sunscreen" kind of romance. Find me has allowed me to glimpse the lives of three, in my opinion, hopeless romantics and find longing to be the same as them someday.

Great writing

The book is amazing. However it can be a little confusing if you don’t pay attention. It is a great closure to “Call me by your name.”
