André Aciman with John Turturro: Room on the Sea

The bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name joins us for the launch of his spellbinding new collection, Room on the Sea. The literature of desire has found new contour and depth in the hands of André Aciman. In contemporary classics like Call Me by Your Name, Aciman zeroes in on the fleeting details that draw us into the greatest love stories of our lives. And in the three novellas comprising Room on the Sea, he finds new ways to draw out the exquisite, bittersweet strangeness of romantic obsession. A life-changing encounter in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast. A dialogue between a man and a woman who meet on jury duty and embark on a complex relationship. A love affair between a nun and a swashbuckling aristocrat. All of the stories in Room on the Sea are replete with uncommon nuance, emotional detail, and a singular lyricism — in intricate turns and sweeping arcs, no one renders the landscape of contemporary love like Aciman. In a special reading and conversation with John Turturro in celebration of the book’s launch, hear Aciman discuss the origins of Room on the Sea, the deeply human mysteries and revelations of erotic connection, and much more. “Brave, acute, elated, naked, brutal, tender, humane, and beautiful prose.” — Nicole Krauss “An acute grammarian of desire.” — The New Yorker This talk was recorded on June 24th, 2025, at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
