Though Aciman's family had been well-off in Alexandria, all vestiges of their status vanished when they fled, and the author, his younger brother, and his deaf mother moved into a rented apartment in Rome's Via Clelia. Though dejected, Aciman's mother and brother found their way into life in Rome, while Aciman, still unmoored, burrowed into his bedroom to read one book after the other. The world of novels eventually allowed him to open up to the city and, through them, discover the beating heart of the Eternal City. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAciman's time in Rome did not last long before he and his family moved across the ocean, but by the time they did, he was leaving behind a city he loved. In this memoir, the author, a genius of \"the poetry of the place\" (John Domini, \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e), conjures the sights, smells, tastes, and people of Rome as only he can. Aciman captures, as if in amber, a living portrait of himself on the brink of adulthood and the city he worshipped at that pivotal moment. \u003ci\u003eRoman Year\u003c\/i\u003e is a treasure, unearthed by one of our greatest prose stylists.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndré Aciman \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFind Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEight White Nights\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOut of Egypt, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFalse Papers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlibis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarvard Square\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEnigma Variations\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHomo Irrealis\u003c\/i\u003e, and the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Proust Project\u003c\/i\u003e.
