He currently is a distinguished professor at the CUNY Graduate Center,  where he teaches the history of literary theory and the works of  Marcel Proust. Andre is the author of a memoir, Out of Egypt, and several novels, including Call Me by Your Name, whose film adaptation, written by James Ivory, won an Oscar in 2018 alongside a very long list of other awards.
