--Parul Sehgal of The New York Times Book Review at the 92nd St Y
"Aciman's quiet, label-free presentation of bisexual life
represents a minor triumph . . . Likewise, his refusal to offer
easy resolution, which infuses the whole romantic enterprise with a
kind of delicious melancholy. There are moments, particularly in
the final chapter, that may have readers gazing tearfully into
their fireplaces, real or imaginary, just like Timothée Chalamet at
the end of Luca Guadagnino's superlative film of 'Call Me by Your
Name.'" --Charles Arrowsmith, The Washington Post "[Find Me] is a
lyrical meditation on being forced to move to another location
after the party's over, on the Sisyphean task of trying to
replicate the magic of young passion . . . it strikes an
affectingly melancholy chord." --Josh Duboff, The New York Times
Book Review "You don't have to have read Call Me by Your Name,
Aciman's 2007 bestselling novel turned Oscar-nominated movie, to
immediately fall in love with this sexy, melancholic follow-up. It
stands entirely separate, yet connected, a beautiful ode to the
passage of time, to the lasting power of true love and the ache of
loneliness . . . the revelations about who these characters have
become unraveling slowly like a gorgeous piece of classical music."
--Buzzfeed "Call Me By Your Name was widely praised for its
treatment of the nature of love, a theme that Find Me continues
with subtlety and grace. Its treatment of the characters'
psychology is astute and insightful, but what will ultimately drive
reader interest is the question of whether star-crossed lovers Elio
and Oliver will reunite. One can only hope." --Booklist (Starred
Review) "Love in all its sublime iterations is at the heart of
Aciman's incandescent sequel to the acclaimed Call Me by Your Name
. . . Aciman gifts readers with a beautiful 21st-century romance
that reflects on the remembrance of things past and the courage to
embrace the future. --Library Journal (Starred Review) "With all of
the richly painted details, emotional nuance, and deeply affecting
romance as the first installment, this book will draw you in and
make you believe in love again." --Good Housekeeping "Aciman writes
about desire with blunt honesty, describing erotic and emotional
interactions with equal clarity. Sex can be tender or not, the
connection lasting or ephemeral, but it is almost always
multilayered and complex." --Clea Simon, Boston Globe "The sequel
is just as maddeningly seductive as the original."--ELLE "Elegant .
. . Elio is the heart of the novel, as its core themes--including
fatherhood, music, the nature of time and fate, the weight and
promise of the past--are infused with eroticism, nostalgia and
tenderness in fluid prose. The novel again demonstrates Aciman's
capacity to fuse the sensual and the cerebral in stories that touch
the heart." --Publishers Weekly "[Find Me] is touching without
being sentimental . . . An elegant, memorable story of enduring
love across the generations." --Kirkus Reviews "Soulful"--People
Magazine "The focus of Find Me is the unlived life, the real life
that comes to a standstill . . . Aciman's clever arrangement takes
advantage of the frustrated desire of the reader to see Elio and
Oliver reunited . . . Far more ambitious than Call Me by Your Name
. . . great care has gone into the artistic shaping of this
narrative."--Anne Serre, The Times Literary Supplement "A
structural marvel . . . proves itself indispensable to longtime
readers and newcomers alike."--Garrett Biggs, The Chicago Review of
Books "Find Me is a sensual delight . . . Throughout his nonfiction
and fiction, Aciman has maintained a profound preoccupation with
memory and the responsibility of history. An aching sense of
vulnerability and fearlessness drives this book past any question
of whether or not a sequel was warranted." --Lauren LeBlanc,
Observer "Find Me is written in the same spiraling prose . . . full
of grace, with some sentences approaching page length--that Call Me
by Your Name was. I devoured the novel quickly, and on rereading
have found myself unable to break away from Aciman's hypnotic
rhythms."--Spencer Kornhaber, The Atlantic "I'm relishing this
indulgent sequel--sex, sculptures, food, villas: everything a
person could want from a novel or from life." --Richie Hoffman,
Poetry Foundation "Exquisite"--Kate Erbland, IndieWire "Aciman had
his work cut out for himself in crafting a sequel as contemplative
and gorgeous as Call Me by Your Name, which ended in its own coda
of Elio's and Oliver's paths crossing years and years hence.
Threading that needle perfectly, Aciman continues his story,
parsing its very structure in his erudite, knowing style . . .
Aciman's genius holds true and makes Find Me a splendid work in its
own right." --Dave Wheeler, Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)
"Stubbornly unsentimental, but nevertheless beautiful . . . Find Me
is, at heart, a meditation on how love bends and warps over time,
but never quite disappears."--Kristin Iversen, Nylon "This [book]
functioned like a medical-grade SAD lamp in the dead of February.
It is a lively novel about sentimental Americans in Italy who feel
a wider range of emotions in seven minutes than most people do in a
month." --Molly Young, Vulture "A devastatingly honest reflection
on the authenticity of love and life . . . Find Me is a truly
remarkable achievement of love beyond the honeymoon teenage
years."-- Tomás Guerrero Jaramillo, Harvard Crimson
