As a result, I have largely given up writing any more in it.Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-4153202596122184302017-12-13T11:28:48.658-10:002017-12-13T11:28:48.658-10:00I read Brody's review and while I am sure the ...I read Brody's review and while I am sure the film is quite good, the story is not for me.<br /><br />If you do see the film or read Aciman's book, please let me know what you think.Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-3517518494720608882017-12-13T10:28:25.031-10:002017-12-13T10:28:25.031-10:00I was just reading in the December 4 issue of The ...I was just reading in the December 4 issue of The New Yorker a beautifully written review by Richard Brody of a new film titled "Call Me By Your Name." The screenplay, by James Ivory, is adapted from the novel of the same name by Andre Aciman. Brody refers to the book as "a mature and thoughtful vintage." A passage from the book: "We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the time we are thirty . . . before you know it, your heart is worn out."<br /><br />Such an author must be read.Lindahttps://commonplacefortheuncommon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-66599633697998996022017-12-13T08:24:31.580-10:002017-12-13T08:24:31.580-10:00Yes, I can identify also with Aciman's musings...Yes, I can identify also with Aciman's musings on living and the memory of it, especially your comment "I also appreciate his view of the importance of putting this down on paper in order to record what is lost and what is recalled." I have been browsing through my 2016 diary, don't ask me why, but it seems so long ago - so many little mundane events. I'm astonished that I cannot remember many of them, but there is the evidence in my own handwriting. So much lost.<br /><br />I like Anais Nin's comment: "We write to taste life twice: in the moment and in retrospection" For me, that is true.Lindahttps://commonplacefortheuncommon.com/noreply@blogger.com
