Well this sure is a neat-o news announcement -- Netflix is turning Call Me By Your Name author André Aciman's 2017 book Enigma Variations into a limited series, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star! I read this way back when it came out in 2017, right in the dizzying heights of CMBYN mania, but haven't read it since so my memory is hella hazy -- here is how Variety describes the book:
"The official logline states that the show follows Paul, “a man remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him across ten transformative years. It’s an intimate yet sweeping portrait of masculinity, sexuality, and modern love—and in a world of endless choices, it asks the question: will we know when we’ve found the one?”
I doubt I'll go back and read it again since it'll be nice to be slightly surprised by where the story goes as we watch, but it's about goddamned time ATJ did something directly appealing to his many many gay fans (besides all the nudity, I mean) -- we've been propping you up through many the flop, my man. We have earned this. To anybody who read the book and remembers a damn thing about it -- how much "sexuality" stuff we talking anyway? I really cannot for the life of me remember anything that happens in this. Memory-holed...

In the book, each chapter works as a short story, with a new lover. Each time the character falls heads on on a relationship that transforms him... my take is that he loves to fall in love, but dont like to make commitments. Oh, and he is bisexual, the majority relationships are with women
