"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (written by Charlie Kaufman). 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua. 3 for Calvin. In the original game the question said this was a book that was "better known" as a movie starring Carrey. There is a book (by Christopher Grau) with the same title as the movie, but it's about the philosophical implications of the movie and does not seem to have been translated into Italian. > This 2012 bestselling novel by John Green tells the story > of a young cancer patient falling in love with an amputee. > It was adapted into a massive hit film.
