Call Me By Your Name is a novel by American writer Andrei Ashmond, first published in 2007.

The story takes place on the Italian Riviera in the 1980s, and the sudden love is like a beast running out of the forest, grabbing the body and heart of the 17-year-old Elio. He fell in love with Oliver, an American doctoral student who was 6 years old and had traveled to Italy. The two were fascinated, hesitant, and tentative about each other, and let the lust burst out in a surge, and achieved a first love that lasted only six weeks. This beautiful summer love has left an indelible mark on the hearts of the two.

In November 2017, the film "Call Me By Your Name" based on the novel was released and won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 90th Academy Awards.

Welcoming guests during the summer was my parents' way of helping young college professors review a manuscript before publication. Every summer for six weeks I had to vacate my room and move into a much smaller hallway room that had been my grandfather's. In the winter months, when we were in town, it would transform into a part-time shed, warehouse and attic, where it is rumored that my grandfather, my namesake, still grinds his teeth in his eternal sleep. The summer residents did not have to pay anything, they were granted free use of the whole house and could basically do whatever they wanted as long as they spent about an hour a day helping my parents with correspondence and various paperwork. They became part of the family and, after about fifteen years doing this, we had become accustomed to receiving a ton of postcards and gifts, not just at Christmas, but all year round, from people who were emotionally indebted to my family and who used to divert their itineraries when they came to Europe to stop by B. for a day or two with their families and take a nostalgic walk through their old shelters.

It was common that during meals there were two or three more guests, sometimes relatives or neighbors, other classmates, lawyers, doctors, rich and famous people who came to see my father on the way to his summer homes. On occasion, we even opened our dining room to occasional tourist couples who had heard of the old country house and simply wanted to stop by to take a look at it and were delighted when we invited them to eat and asked them to tell us something about their life, while Mafalda, who was informed at the last moment, he cooked his newest specialty. My father, reserved and shy in private, liked to surround himself with valuable experts in any field to hold long conversations in several languages, while the hot summer sun and a few glasses of rosatello gave entrance to the afternoon with its inevitable lethargy. We called that task the work of lunch and, soon after, most of our six-week guests also joined it.
