Not sure what you mean. Does the novel continue where the film ends? In the movie we see the dad having a conversation with his son at the end.
Your sensationalistic thread title is inaccurate. You see, Oliver's relationship with Elio would have made him a ephebophile having a primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19 and not a pedophile. In addition, Oliver was an upcoming professor who had no homosexual leanings before he met Elio. The age of consent in most countries is 16 and 14 in many parts of Europe. There was a very special connection and bond between the two.
I don't think so, perhaps remotely curious. We see towards the end of the film the dad has a conversation with his son and says "...and I'll say one more thing, it'll clear the air. I may have come close but I never had what you two have. something always held me back or stood in the way."
