REVIEW: LU GUADAGNO’S GAY LOVE STORY ‘CALL ME BY YOUR NAME’ IS A NEW G-OF-AGE CLASSIC
The book was penned by a straight thor who says that he has never had a gay relatnship his life, and tells the story of two apparently heteroflexible but largely hetero-leang men who seem to experiment wh same-sex sex only furtively their liv.
Ined, all “gay” sex tak place off screen—only boy-girl or boy-u sex happens wh the ame. And the only openly gay characters—a pair of “boyiend tw-ed” amics who vis El’s parents for dner—are portrayed as ridiculo Tweedlm-and-Tweedlee typ.

However, spe all this, gay dienc have sought ways to embrace this straight-guys-gone-wild narrative as an thentic gay romance agast all available evince. When Call Me by Your Name first me out, for example, my gay iends ma a pastime of qutng Aciman’s sexualy.
He’s married wh children, but those gay sex scen are way too real. Jt as El search for gay sire his apparently straight csh, gay rears searched for gay sire our beloved thor. One of my favore gay-world mors about Aciman emerged while he was still givg readgs to promote the book New York Cy: I heard that he uldn’t read passag ont of his son.
‘CALL ME BY YOUR NAME’ IS A GAY LOVE STORY. THE FILM SHOULD HAVE CLUD GAY SEX.
) I reunt only bee perfectly enpsulat what we gays love about Call Me by Your Name—the notn of a tragilly embattled straight man. Over the past few weeks, media verage of the film adaptatn has palized on this fascatn wh ambiguo straight men by other means, featurg terviews where the straight lead actors scribe their total fort wh pantomimg gay love on set. So when we nsume this film, we’re willg to ll a gay masterpiece whout any of the ual mands, such as real gay actors playg realistic gay characters some sort of gay cultural or historil ntext.
Jt look at Aciman’s meo: In se you missed , he played one member of the hilar actually gay uple the screen adaptatn.
To be fair, I’m not sure Aciman was ready for this book to bee such a gay sensatn. And really, on some level, the story is not so much homoerotic as is toerotic— tells the story of two boys wh nearly intil tellects and terts who fall love wh mirror imag of themselv and then ll out their own nam durg sex.
