    Summary

    Speak, Oliver. If after all these years you still want me, it must be you who names the desire as you once named me. If one of us should speak now, it must be you. Speak, or die.

    *

    Or, the happy ending that I wanted (and that Elio and Oliver both deserve). Set immediately after the end of the novel.

    Summary

    An unrelenting heatwave settles over the Berkshires Hills in western Massachusetts in the last summer of the millennium. Elio has arrived at the Tanglewood Music Center to premiere his new piano concerto. One sweltering evening, an unexpected reunion takes place between old lovers who, after twelve years, have to pretend to be strangers.

    Oliver kept avoiding my eye. At first I understood, but then it made me furious. I wanted to expose him, expose us. He’d obviously not told her about me. Or maybe he had forgotten. Give me a sign, Oliver, tell me you remember the long afternoon we spent hidden among the tall grass and I won’t tell her about us.

    Summary

    Later, I will see everything that came after we kissed at the piano bench in just such a way—as film scenes; all out-of-sequence, the edit upholding the theme. An endless loop.

    Six years after parting, Elio and Oliver reacquaint themselves with one another.
