It reflects the typical - or the usual - lifestyle of gay men, but without losing its grip on reality or putting characters in a box. <br /><br />And while "Call Me By Your Name" is far less epic, I found that it was more introspective than the Picano. Instead of saying something about events in a life, it deals more with mattersMigs Bassighttp://migsbassig.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278944282678206652.post-87881586298083867362011-08-24T17:12:53.324+08:002011-08-24T17:12:53.324+08:00I've read Felice Picano's Like People in H...I've read Felice Picano's Like People in History and is it by far my favorite gay fiction. So reading your post that Aciman's novel is better got me intrigued. I just read the NY Times' excerpt and I just relish every word.<br /><br />I hope you can write more. I seldom write comments on blogs, but I felt I need to communicate with you, even in such an informal way.

And I'm glad you loved the book as much as I did, and I'm lifted by your sound advice that I should seize the day. Indeed, it's great to discover more of myself - and the world - while I am young.<br /><br />I hope that you'll keep visiting, and I hope to hear from Migs Bassighttp://migsbassig.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278944282678206652.post-67928229265446279872011-07-20T22:35:40.354+08:002011-07-20T22:35:40.354+08:00This book can change your perspectives, your goals...This book can change your perspectives, your goals, your current way of living. What I, actually, learned from Aciman's novel is to be more myself and less the way others expect me to be.<br />Do not want please to get older as quickly as possible... carpe diem!<br /><br />Toby<br /><br />PS: Congratulations on your sincerely introspective blog! Keep writing and reading good books :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
