About this audiobook

"[Narrator Michael Stuhlbarg's] elegant performance and Aciman's sensitive writing keep things touching without ever being sentimental. Wonderful listening." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner

This program is read by Michael Stuhlbarg, the actor who played Professor Samuel Perlman in Luca Guadagnino's critically-acclaimed film, Call Me by Your Name. A bonus conversation between Michael Stuhlbarg and André Aciman is included at the end of the program.

In this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters decades after their first meeting.


No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as “a love letter, an invocation . . . an exceptionally beautiful book” (Stacey D’Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much-loved, Academy Award–winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love.

In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever.

Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.

Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.

    It was lovely. The general theme of longing for our passed fathers broke my heart. Maybe because my father has also passed two years ago. It shouldn’t be compared to Call Me By Your Name. If you don’t expect it to be a sequel you will enjoy it more. Michael Stuhlbarg breathed life into all the characters. I loved it.

    I think I would have enjoyed this more as a stand alone novel and not as a sequel to Call Me By Your Name. It’s beautifully written, but I found myself always looking to what’s next without ever being satisfied when I got there.

    I wish I had not read it . It was a let down to the original and completely unnecessary.

    Highly engaging and also moving, although not as "whole" as Call me by your Name. I do like the inserts about music and language.

    I had to stop in the middle of the third chapter. The repeat age gap love story was more boring the second time. Why am I following the same beats in chapter three as I did in chapter one and two? Do we really need daddy’s age gap fling, then Elio’s age gap fling right after?

    Maybe I’m missing out in the book getting better in later chapters. It’s to repetitive for my liking.

    André Aciman wrote with much passion and made the characters, places, events and speech come alive.
