This hybrid event will take place in person at Proshansky Auditorium, CUNY Graduate Center, 365 5th Ave, NYC and online via Zoom. Registration required. Please register below to attend.
Join us in person or online with André Aciman, acclaimed author of Call Me by Your Name and distinguished professor of comparative literature at the CUNY Graduate Center, for a conversation about his anticipated new memoir, Roman Year. The book captures the period of Aciman’s adolescence when he and his family briefly lived in Rome, after being expelled from Egypt, when he devoured novels and discovered the beating heart of the Eternal City. Roman Year conjures the sights, smells, tastes, and people of Rome as only Aciman, one of our great prose stylists, can. His many books include Homo Irrealis, Find Me, and Out of Egypt. He speaks with Amor Towles, bestselling author of Rules of Civility, A Gentleman in Moscow, and The Lincoln Highway. Free and open to all; RESERVE NOW.
This event is hosted by Public Programs at the CUNY Graduate Center.
