Author of Call Me By Your Name explains why he hates the word love and why he prefers to create someone who doesn’t know whether he loves or not!

André Aciman’s been tagged as “the most exciting new fiction writer of the 21st century” by the New York Magazine. This accolade hides the fact that before he wrote the novel he’s known for, Call Me By Your Name, Aciman was already the award-winning author of Out of Egypt: A Memoir and The Proust Project.
