His older boyfriend, a renowned Italian writer named Leo, finds it impossible to watch the slow and inevitable demise of his lover. So, he condemns himself to wandering the earth instead, moving cities every few weeks in the hope of finding the dividing line between the living and the dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe travels through Europe where past and present overlap, years merge and faces emerge, and reminders of the life he and Thomas shared are on every corner. From their meeting and nights spent in Paris to the drug-induced flight through the forests of northern France that spelled the end, Leo’s memories become clearer with every road he takes—much as he wishes he could simply forget. While alive, and wanting to preserve the passion of their relationship, Leo had forced Thomas to live separately: in separate rooms, separate towns, with separate lives. But now, face to face with true solitude, Leo must finally reckon with the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and, ultimately, cross an ocean to find the strength to go on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndré Aciman’s \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e meets Ocean Vuong’s\u003ci\u003e On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous\u003c\/i\u003e in this “perfect elegy of grief and a neo-Platonical understanding of lost love” (\u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review\u003c\/i\u003e), told in three musical movements by a treasured literary talent being published in the US for the first time.","brand":"Zando","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48477585080575,"sku":"9781638936213","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781638936213_s600x595.jpg?v=1780336470","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781638936213","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
