即大家期待已久的《以你的名字呼喚我》的同名原著概龄。
文學少年Elio苦甜交織的短暫夏季戀情——海邊的猛烈陽光盹愚、新鮮杏汁、午后小憩(有一只受傷的桃子)痕惋、紅色泳褲区宇、名叫“天堂”的泳池邊專屬躺位……不過和一切未挑明的感情一樣,未得到明確回應之前值戳,當事人的內(nèi)心戲夠填滿一個太平洋议谷。
他捏了一把他的肩膀:“It never occured to me that what had totally panicked me when he touched me was exactly what startles virgins on being touched for the first time by the person they desire: he stirs nerves in them they never knew existed and that produce far, far more disturbing pleasures than they are used to on their own.”

“It never occured to me”這樣頻繁地出現(xiàn),大概因為單戀的少年比較容易睜眼瞎堕虹。
這其實是個沒什么情節(jié)的故事卧晓,與其說主人公是Elio和Oliver,倒不如說更像是Elio對這場“覺醒式”戀愛的單方面記錄——關于性的嘗試赴捞,猶太人身份的一點點思考逼裆,關于詩、音樂赦政,關于一切青少年在暑假里會想到的東西胜宇。因為現(xiàn)實生活還懸在地平線以外,if not later, when?
然后二十年過去了恢着。
“Over the years I'd lodged him to the permanent past, my pluperfect lover, put him on ice, stuffed him with memories and mothballs like a hunted ornament confabulating with the ghost of all my evenings. I'd dust him off from time to time and then put him back on the mantelpiece. He no longer belonged to earth or life.”
Oops桐愉,好像劇透了。
