A scintillating new voice in speculative fiction for readers of Emily St. John Mandel and N. K. Jemisin.
When you emigrate, you leave yourself behind. Literally. One instance of a person crosses the border; the other instance stays trapped behind it.
Some instances keep in touch, call each other daily, keep their lives and minds in sync in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Other instances, like Soyoung Rose Kang, leave home at 10 and never speak to their other selves again. Rose, in America, never imagined going back to Korea. Then her grandfather dies, and her Korean instance calls her home for the funeral, and she discovers that Soyoung plans to steal her body and live her life whether she wants to reintegrate or not.
Sublimation is a literary science fiction novel that pits the lives we choose against the lives we
leave behind. It's an immigrant story like no other, capturing the longing for another life and
twisting it into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.
Sublimation is a gorgeous debut from Isabel J. Kim, the Hugo Award- and Nebula Prize-nominated author of 'Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole?'
