About Books, February 9, 2008

Andre Aciman talks about his novel, Call Me By Your Name which has recently come out in paperback. Aciman, who teaches comparative literature in New York, was on the Augustana campus last year and I visited with him about his memoir, Out of Egypt. I remember his saying that, because he has lived in Egypt, Italy, France and the United States, he doesn't have a sense of having a country. Call Me By Your Name is a love story set during a summer in Italy and draws on some of Aciman's experience of global living.
