Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Call Me by Your Name is a 2007 novel by André Aciman.In the summer of 1987, seventeen-year-old Elio Perlman and his parents accept American academic Oliver as a guest in their house along the Italian Riviera. Elio deals with his burgeoning attraction to the carefree, charismatic, intelligent Oliver, who he doubts reciprocates his feelings, and comes of age in the process.The book was adapted into a 2017 film directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Timothée Chalamet as Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver.Inspired by the success of the film, Aciman wrote a sequel to the book titled Find Me published in October 2019. Set some time after the original, it follows Elio's (recently divorced) father Samuel as he visits his son in Rome —now a classical pianist— and experiences major changes to his own life, while Oliver (now a father and professor) is contemplating a return to Europe himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending: The book ends with Elio and Oliver consummating their passion far too late in the summer, and Oliver leaves and abruptly marries some months later. Contact between Elio and Oliver falters and cools, and even decades later, Elio never moves on from Oliver and is even jealous of the latter's wife and children. Both Vimini and Elio's father die, and his mother becomes senile and suspicious. Oliver also eventually forgets their game of calling each other by their own names, which depresses Elio, though in the book's last meeting, Oliver claims he hasn't forgotten anything, which Elio hopes is true. The only thing keeping it from a straight Downer Ending is the memories and passion that the couple shared is worth the heartbreak that follows.

Age-Gap Romance: The mid-twenties Oliver with Elio and Chiara, who are both teenagers. It's implied that nothing physical happened with the latter, though, although she did have a big crush on him.
