![]() ![]() ![]() Find Me is split into four sections, with Samuel and Miranda’s story, “Tempo,” taking up nearly half of the novel, despite being the weakest narrative. Instead, it’s primarily concerned with Elio’s father, Samuel, and his relationship with Miranda, a young woman he meets on the train 10 years after the main action of Call Me by Your Name. Why? Because (spoiler alert) Oliver and Elio are only together for about 10 pages of the novel. While the prose, as one would expect from Aciman, is simply beautiful, the unexpected story will disappoint fans looking for a direct follow-up. So, right off the bat, Aciman must be applauded for even attempting Find Me, the new semi-sequel to his beloved novel. Elio and Oliver’s Italian summer of love is stunningly rendered on the page and on the screen, making a follow-up a difficult proposition. André Aciman’s 2007 love-story Call Me by Your Name and its rapturously-received 2017 film adaptation are modern queer classics. ![]()
