Produktbeschreibung
Three hypnotic novellas about obsessional love, missed connections, and enduring regret by the bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name.

The short fictions in Room on the Sea deal with the heart-wrenching vicissitudes of amorous ambivalence, in André Aciman's inimitably nostalgic, lyric style.

"The Gentleman from Peru" tells the story of the life-changing encounter of a group of friends with an enigmatic solitary guest in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast. "Room on the Sea" is a dialogue between a man and a woman who meet on jury duty and embark on a complex relationship. "Mariana" is a modern retelling of a famous seventeenth-century novel about a love affair between a nun and a swashbuckling, unreliable aristocrat.

No one writes about the ups and downs, the yeses and nos, of contemporary love like Aciman. As The Times (London) writes: "You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them."

Rezensionen
"Through subtle observations and gentle narrative arcs, [Aciman] maintains that crushes and heartaches are as urgent as any of the crises that face us." - Sumaiya Aftab Ahmed, The Washington Post

"A triptych of novellas rooted in the same sweetly painful intimacies. The three stories collected in Room on the Sea all concern the kinds of quiet, complex love that refuse to fit neatly on a greeting card." -Colin Dwyer, NPR

"Room on the Sea is wise and luminous, exploring the tender, elusive space between what was and what might still be." -Paula McLain, Charleston City Paper

"When reading Aciman, you simultaneously feel the expansive possibility of life and the looming prospect of choice that will dictate that life. Room on the Sea is no exception." -Molly B. Nash, Chicago Review of Books

"This exquisite triptych from Aciman explores desire and fate among old friends, new acquaintances, and heartbroken lovers . . . A triumph." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Count on Aciman for stories filled with love, lust, loss, and not a small measure of regret. These beguiling novellas offer up all of that in spades." -Barbara Love, Library Journal (starred review)
