Andre Aciman is an Italian-American writer, born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt. He currently is a distinguished professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he teaches the history of literary theory and the works of Marcel Proust. Andre is the author of a memoir, Out of Egypt, and several novels, including Call Me by Your Name, whose film adaptation, written by James Ivory, won an Oscar in 2018 alongside a very long list of other awards. We discussed his cosmopolitan upbringing, the fact that there isn’t a place he truly calls home, and how his French and Italian roots have shaped his writing in English.
