Sublimation

Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

From a stunning new voice in speculative fiction, Sublimation is a dazzlingly original debut from Isabel J. Kim.

Recensie/Quote

Kim's un-put-downable debut imagines a world where migration literary splits immigrants in two, leaving one self in their country of origin while the other moves to their new home. When the Soyoung Rose Kang who has lived in the U.S since age 10 returns to Korea for her grandfather's funeral, she comes face-to-face with the iteration of herself who stayed behind. This fresh and fascinating conceit gives rise to a taut plot and an incisive exploration of identity and assimilation
