Details
Meeting at the usual place, The Shakespeare Hotel, Surry Hills, we’ll be discussing Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman. This meeting will be on Thursday 11 February 2027.
It’s summer in northern Italy, 1983. Seventeen-year-old Elio is spending the holidays with his family when an American academic arrives. There is attraction, uncertainty and eventually sex.
The novel is a gay coming-of-age romance as well as a novel about desire, obsession and intimacy. Elio looks back on that summer knowing what he could not know at the time: that some encounters change the way we experience love forever.
Hard copies are very easily available through local libraries. PDFs available from our friend Anna. Or contact me on dalemills@cantab.net for a PDF.
There will be about 10-15 of us in one of the semi-private rooms upstairs, conducive to discussion. Ask at the bar or look for the sign if you can't find us! We are a friendly lot and newcomers are welcome.
