“I tried again and again and again, gave up and then started again. “I had started Find Me with the voice of Elio but it wasn’t working,” Aciman explains. He is about to embark on his own life-changing love affair with Miranda, a woman he meets on a train. The sequel, Find Me, begins not with Elio’s voice but his father’s. After writing Call Me by Your Name, I finished another novel and then I started writing the sequel.” You never forget that you’ve written such a story because it stays with you for the rest of your life. “Elio and Oliver were always in the wings. Fans rallied for a sequel to Elio and Oliver’s relationship and it was a pleasant surprise when Aciman announced that he too would love a sequel to Call Me by Your Name – in fact, he was finishing one. While Call Me by Your Name was critically acclaimed when it was first published in 2007, Guadagnino’s film turned Elio and Oliver’s love story into a cultural sensation. It’s an unashamedly romantic story about first love, lost love and queer love. “Turns out this was a very successful movie.”Ĭall Me by Your Name is the story of seventeen-year-old Elio, who falls in love with his father’s grad student, Oliver, during a summer in Italy. “The night of the premiere, suddenly I was getting a million tweets saying everybody’s crying, everybody’s applauding,” chuckles Aciman. It was a pleasant surprise, then, that Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation wasn’t just great it was career-best, Oscar-nominated great.
