Praise for Call Me by Your Name : "Aciman ... has an ability to make the finest, the tiniest and most convincing distinctions between modds, responses, and registers. Everything is watched as it shifts and glitters and then hesitates and maybe is shadowed over ... This really is fiction at its most supremely interesting; every clause and subclause shimmers with a densely observed and carefully rendered invention that seems oddly and delightfully precise and convincing ... There are many layers and levels in this story." Colm Toibin, The New York Review of Books, Praise for Call Me by Your Name : "Aciman ... has an ability to make the finest, the tiniest and most convincing distinctions between moods, responses, and registers. Everything is watched as it shifts and glitters and then hesitates and maybe is shadowed over ... This really is fiction at its most supremely interesting; every clause and subclause shimmers with a densely observed and carefully rendered invention that seems oddly and delightfully precise and convincing ... There are many layers and levels in this story." -Colm Tóibín, The New York Review of Books, Praise for Call Me by Your Name : "Aciman ... has an ability to make the finest, the tiniest and most convincing distinctions between moods, responses, and registers. Everything is watched as it shifts and glitters and then hesitates and maybe is shadowed over ... This really is fiction at its most supremely interesting; every clause and subclause shimmers with a densely observed and carefully rendered invention that seems oddly and delightfully precise and convincing ... There are many layers and levels in this story." -Colm Tóibín, The New York Review of Books Praise for Alibis : "From the acclaimed Egyptian-born author, gorgeous musings on longing and memory fueled by travel. A virtuoso in literary criticism, memoir and fiction ( Eight White Nights , 2010, etc.), Aciman revisits themes that have obsessed him since his youth growing up in Alexandria, when he and his family were waiting for years for visas to migrate to Europe, then the United States. Anticipation-and all the longing it held-proved the ideal, romantic, satisfying state, rather than the actual delivery. For example, longing for America all those years proved much more delicious and lasting than the actual naked reality of living there. In each essay, Aciman elegantly palpates these themes of place and displacement ('dispersion, evasion, ambivalence'). In 'Lavender,' the myriad scents of aftershave he will discover over the years mark milestones in his life, but hark back essentially to the first, significant scent of his father's lavender aftershave. Initiating his young sons into the memories of his youth, in 'Intimacy,' involves taking them back to Via Clelia in Rome, where the author 40 years before lived in limbo with his family for three years while waiting for their visas to America. For Aciman, who was poor, speaking Italian self-consciously with a foreign accent, it was a time of shame, yet writing about it helps unlock the 'numbness' and encourages 'dream-making.' In 'Temporizing,' through the personal exploration of his family's Marrano roots, the author fashions a brilliantly subtle excursus on the craft of a writer such as Proust, who avoids the tyranny of the particular, the day-to-day, by circumventing pain and sorrow at all costs, and passing all experience through 'the literary time filter.' Aciman's own travel essays-on Venice, the Place des Vosges, Tuscany, Barcelona and New York-filter the present through an ever-shifting palette of sensuous memory and impression. These essays sing with bracing clarity." - Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Call Me by Your Name : "Aciman ... has an ability to make the finest, the tiniest and most convincing distinctions between moods, responses, and registers. Everything is watched as it shifts and glitters and then hesitates and maybe is shadowed over ... This really is fiction at its most supremely interesting; every clause and subclause shimmers with a densely observed and carefully rendered invention that seems oddly and delightfully precise and convincing ... There are many layers and levels in this story." - Colm Toibin, The New York Review of Books

Synopsis
A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011 Celebrated as one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, Andre Aciman has written a luminous series of linked essays about time, place, identity, and art that show him at his very finest. From beautiful and moving pieces about the memory evoked by the scent of lavender; to meditations on cities like Barcelona, Rome, Paris, and New York; to his sheer ability to unearth life secrets from an ordinary street corner, Alibis reminds the reader that Aciman is a master of the personal essay.
