André Aciman’s million-copy bestseller, Call Me by Your Name, was adapted for the screen to Oscar-winning success by James Ivory in 2017. Now, artist Sarah Maxwell-McNicol gives new life to this moving story of first love through a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel. Aciman and Maxwell-McNicol reflect today on their co-creation process, bringing existing characters to life in new ways, and what goes into adapting a beloved queer cult classic for new audiences. Chaired by Andrés N Ordorica.
