Sobre este título

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 the gorgeous debut novel from Nebula Award-winning author Isabel J. Kim.

Resumo da Crítica

In this dazzling parable of connection and isolation, Isabel J. Kim's vividly crafted characters navigate identity, belonging, and the weight of a divided history. A richly imagined alternate reality that serves as a perfect allegory for our own world, where the borders of our fragmented selves are increasingly shaped and policed by corporate technologies. (Scott Westerfeld, author of Uglies and The Mortons)
Sublimation is an odyssey of choices and regrets, of people who would be and never were but also are, all at once, exploring immigration and separation, diaspora and the resulting split identities of cultural interweaving — both willing and unwilling. Kim masterfully blends the experimental and straightforward, jarring yet familiar, philosophical and theoretical, while examining placelessness and fractured identity through multilayered narratives. I have never felt more seen by a book in my life (Ai Jiang, author of A Palace Near the Wind)
Sublimation is modern science fiction at its best and most relevant, articulating a metaphor that speaks to one of our world’s greatest and most ubiquitous crises—the border—with the terrible precision of open-heart surgery. Does it hurt more to be the one who leaves or the one who stays behind—and what if you had to be both at the same time? (Vajra Chandrasekera, Nebula Award-winning author of The Saint of Bright Doors)
A heartrending and mind-bending novel about our slippery sense of identity and desire – essential reading for understanding today's reality. (Stephanie Feldman, author of Saturnalia )
Sublimation is an unsettling and suspenseful narrative about the borders that cross us and the selves we subsequently leave behind (Anton Hur, author of Toward Eternity)
