Roman Year: A Memoir André Aciman in Conversation

André Aciman, acclaimed author of Call Me by Your Name and distinguished professor of comparative literature at the CUNY Graduate Center, joins in a conversation about his anticipated new memoir, Roman Year. The book captures the period of Aciman’s adolescence when he and his family briefly lived in Rome, after being expelled from Egypt, when he devoured novels and discovered the beating heart of the Eternal City. Roman Year conjures the sights, smells, tastes, and people of Rome as only Aciman, one of our great prose stylists, can. His many books include Homo Irrealis, Find Me, and Out of Egypt.
