<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: "I am Clara." Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the same cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won't hazard a move. The tension between them builds gradually, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. They move both closer together and farther apart, culminating on New Year's Eve in a final scene charged with magic and the promise of renewal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A LUSHLY ROMANTIC NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF <i>CALL ME BY YOUR NAME<br></i></b><br>A young man goes to a Christmas party in upper Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three simple words: I am Clara. Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly. The tension between them builds gradually--marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust--culminating in a final scene on New Year's Eve charged with magic and the passion. André Aciman yet again explores human emotion with uncompromising accuracy in this piercing new novel. <i>Eight White Nights</i> is a brilliant performance from a master prose stylist.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Eight White Nights</i> ... envelop[s] the reader in its wintry spell." --Jennifer Egan, <i>The New York Times </i>(Editors' Choice) <p/>"A modern New York City fairy tale." --<i>Time Out</i> (New York) <p/>"A bravura re-creation of all the feints and counterfeints, yearnings and frustrations, of modern courtship. It possesses the psychological acuity and intensity one associates not just with Proust but also with Dostoyevsky." --Michael Dirda, <i>The New York Review of Books</i> <p/>"Psychologically charged, deeply Dostoyevskian . . . original to the core. Then again, Aciman has never failed to be original. Nor is he a stranger to questions of love. " --Marie Arana, <i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Aciman brilliantly continues his examination into the minefield of longing and attraction. . . . For anyone who's ever smarted from the sharp dreamlike unreality of those obsessive early stages of young love, it's a blistering quick trip down the rabbit hole." --Karen Campbell, <i>The Boston Globe</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>ANDRÉ ACIMAN </b>is the author of <i>Call Me by Your Name</i>, <i>Out of Egypt</i>, and <i>False Papers, </i>and is the editor of <i>The Proust Project </i>(all published by FSG). He teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He lives with his wife and family in Manhattan.</p>
