A friend of mine took me to a French film festival when I was in my 20s. The first movie we watched was about a creepy little 12 or 13 year old kid who stole a piece of raw liver from his mother's kitchen and proceeded to have relations with it. He then returned the liver to the kitchen, where his mother lovingly and none the wiser proceeded to cook the organ meat for her family, and then we, the audience, were subjected to watching them all eat it.

All I can say is, -it's beautiful, -it made me happy, -it made me sad, -it just made me Feel ,so many emotions.
Read Nick's review,because he's said it perfectly. Fear of rejection - and of acceptance? This is an achingly slow, beautiful, microscopic analysis of the glittering facets of identity. Hunger and fear. I've finished this book almost a week ago but I'm not able to stop thinking about it. A generator of emotions. Thought provoking. Beautiful writing style.
And at the same time, raw and real. The ending left me with my heart shattered into million pieces. I swear guys, I'm still collecting those pieces. I mean it is not only about a love story. It is about the choices we make in our I found this novel painfully slow going at times.
There was too much introspection, too little dialogue. The young grad student and the year-old narrator annoyed me with their wishy-washy feelings and emotions.
I craved more intensity and passion. Despite its flaws, I was gradually swept away by the lovely writing, the setting, and growing intimacy between the two main characters.
Knowing early on these two young men were not destined to remain together did not prevent me from being deeply mo Then I found interest in it again, and I hea Shelves: egyptian-author, he-says, traditionally-published, read-around-the-world, published, fiction, jewish.
He was waiting for me to say something. He was staring at me. This, I think, was the first time I dared myself to stare back at him. Usually, I'd cast a glance and then look away - look away because I didn't want to swim in the lovely, clear pool of his eyes unless I'd been invited to - and I never waited long enough to know whether I was even wanted there; look away because I was too scared to stare anyone back; look away because I didn't want to give anything away; look away because I couldn't Shelves: favorites, fiction, bildungsroman, me, romance, nostalgia, italy, lgbt, america, lyrical.
I finished reading the book late last night. As Elio bid a final goodbye to Oliver, I stood by him. The mist in his eyes and heart was in mine too. And I hovered my glance on his name and let the pool in my eyes fill a little more. And then, in a pained resignation, I closed my eyes. It has been almost a day since I read the last word of this book.
Modern liberal economics holds the proverbial carrot in front of the world's population while the real winners, the multi-national banks and corporations, reap scandalous profits. Like a cancer, if untreated it will destroy its host.
Social analysis cannot cure this cancer, but it can remove the rose-colored glasses from people's eyes so that they can understand it. Free Market Capitalism has undoubted benefits. It becomes evil when it is a law unto itself. A system of political economy, endowed with a wider vision and a more just definition of profits, might evolve out of the dialogue between the mechanisms of Capitalism and the priorities of socialism.
Such a system would allow all peoples to enjoy a decent life while preserving the integrity of the earth. Utopia, the perfect society, may never become a reality, but we should never stop trying to implement it. Social analysis is a necessary first step towards a more just world.
