Sublimation

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

Remarkable

This debut novel from an award-winning Korean-American short fiction writer is a fantastical reimagining of the immigrant experience . . . A brilliantly realised, imaginative and compelling work of literary speculative fiction
