Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents’ cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New

England, where his enduring passion for a girl he’ll meet again and again over the years is punctuated

by anonymous encounters with men; whether he’s on a tennis court in Central Park, or on a New York sidewalk in early spring, his attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire―not for just one person’s body but, inevitably, for someone else’s as well.

In Enigma Variations, Aciman maps the most inscrutable corners of passion, proving to be an unsparing

reader of the human psyche and a master stylist. With language at once lyrical, bare-knuckled,

and unabashedly candid, he casts a sensuous, shimmering light over each facet of desire to probe how

we ache, want, and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of those who may want

to offer only what we crave from them. Ahead of every step Paul takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and

regrets are always ready to lay their traps. Yet the dream of love lingers. We may not always know what we want. We may remain

01.一个男人和5段奇妙的恋情 从《卡罗尔》《月光男孩》到《请以你的名字呼唤我》，美国在2015年同性恋婚姻合法化之后，几乎每年的颁奖季，都会有一部出色的同性恋电影入围。从遮遮掩掩到光明正大，这场斗争耗费了漫长的时间和无数的心力，但当理念逐渐深入人心甚至达致顶点之后...  

封面很漂亮，书名我很喜欢，有一种春天阳光和洵的感觉。刚开始读了半天没读懂，又重新从第一页开始读。看了半天，还是没怎么看懂，可能我理解差吧。不知道是翻译问题还是什么，总觉得读起来不顺，后来又读了几页，才知道故事的大概。主角是男的，他喜欢一个男的？意Y？然后，，...

He kept switching sides.

最幸福的职业还是写作。

Some idiot: cmbyn is sick, it’s paedophilic. André Aciman: FINE. Then wrote a book about a twelve-year-old boy lusting after a man in his late twenties. André Aciman: Happy now?
