An Evening with André Aciman

A luminous coming of age memoir written with Aciman’s characteristic style and insight, My Roman Year is the story of the 13 year old writer’s life in Rome. A wise and transporting meditation on exile and the meaning of home, My Roman Year is the highly-anticipated latest work from the New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman from Peru.

André Aciman is the New York Times bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name, Out of Egypt, Eight White Nights, Enigma Variations, Find Me, and the essay collection Homo Irrealis. He’s the editor of The Proust Project and teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Aciman will be in conversation with writer and critic Michael Amherst. His essay-memoir, Go the Way Your Blood Beats was the 2019 winner of the Stonewall Israel Fishman Award for nonfiction, sponsored by the American Library Association. His short fiction has appeared in publications including The White Review and Contrappasso and been longlisted for BBC Opening Lines and Bath Short Story Prize, and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.

The event will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Doors will open from 6:45pm.
