André Aciman and Brian Dillon: 'Homo Irrealis'
Born into Alexandria’s Sephardic Jewish community and now resident in New York, André Aciman is best known for his novels, in particular Call Me by Your Name. His latest, Homo Irrealis (Faber and Faber) is a collection of essays on subjects as diverse as Freud, W.G.Sebald, the films of Eric Rohmer and the cityscapes of Alexandria and St Petersburg.
Aciman is in conversation with writer and critic Brian Dillon, author of Suppose a Sentence, In the Dark Room and, most appropriately here, Essayism. From an event held on 21 January, 2021.

ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP
Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.
Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.

Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.
