  • "A LUSHLY ROMANTIC NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAME Eight White Nights is an unforgettable journey through that enchanted terrain where passion and fear and the sheer craving to ask for love and to show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: "I am Clara." Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the same cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won't hazard a move. The tension between them builds gradually, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. As AndrE Aciman explores their emotions with uncompromising accuracy and sensuous prose, they move both closer together and farther apart, culminating on New Year's Eve in a final scene charged with magic and the promise of renewal. Call Me by Your Name, Aciman's debut novel, established him as one of the finest writers of our time, an expert at the most sultry depictions of longing and desire. As The Washington Post Book World wrote, "The beauty of Aciman's writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone." Aciman's piercing and romantic new novel is a brilliant performance from a master prose stylist."@en
  • "Als er auf einer New Yorker Weihnachtsparty die junge, schöne Clara kennenlernt, ist es um den Erzähler geschehen. Ihr Charme, ihre wilde Lebensfreude, ihre unmittelbare, witzige Bosheit nehmen ihn vom ersten Moment an gefangen, und augenblicklich weiß er, dass er diese Begegnung niemals vergessen wird. An den folgenden sieben Abenden trifft er Clara bei einem Rohmer-Filmfestival. Während eine spannungsgeladene Affäre ihren Lauf nimmt, wird beiden bewusst, dass ihnen entweder unermessliches Glück bevorsteht oder ein schmerzlicher Verlust, der sie lebenslang zeichnen wird. Leidenschaftlich und kompromisslos erzählt André Aciman von zwei Menschen, die so große Gefühle füreinander hegen, dass sie diese nur maskiert zum Ausdruck bringen können, und dabei Gefahr laufen, sich in Spielereien zu verlieren."
