Hello and welcome to Queer's Fiction, where we talk about the intersection between the queer and the historical in the media.

My name is Eli.

And I'm Jason.

Today we're talking about the 2007 novel and 2017 movie, Call Me By Your Name.

Before we get started, there are of of course, some content warnings for this episode.

The big one is that this book and movie is just about an adult in a relationship with a teenager.

So we're going to talk about that.

Yep.

Yeah.

Apart from that, we're going to kind of briefly, in a surface level,

mentioned some homophobia and some

anti-Semitism and AIDS. So if any of that sounds like something that you don't want to listen to,

feel free to skip this one and join us in our next episode. As I alluded to at the top of this podcast,

originally this was a book. It was published in 2007, written by Andrerei Asimann. And it was adapted into a movie

last year, so 2017. Very recent. You may, in fact, have heard of it.

Directed by Luca Guadino and starring Timothy Shalameh and Army Hammer. Yeah, we really have

kind of recorded this recently enough that people have remembered it, but also kind of thoroughly

got over talking about it.

Yeah, we're bringing the discourse back.

Yeah, we're doing a very like historical podcast way of trying to be relevant.

But yeah, the plot of the two is pretty much the same for both.

Yeah, largely the same.
