Conversation with André Aciman, bestselling author of the contemporary classic, Call Me by Your Name (2007), a coming-of-age novel and bisexual romance that was adapted as a 2017 movie.

Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, the film won Best Screenplay for the adaptation by James Ivory.

Aciman’s newest work of fiction is Room on the Sea: Three Novellas (2025). Publishers Weekly said, “This exquisite triptych from Aciman explores desire and fate among old friends, new acquaintances, and heartbroken lovers . . . A triumph.” The Times of London said, “You don’t so much read André Aciman’s novels as tumble breathlessly into them.” His other works include the memoirs, Roman Year (2024) and Out of Egypt (1995), and the novels, Enigma Variations (2017) and Find Me (2019).
