Immigrating to a new country can be a traumatic experience, and Nebula Award-winner Isabel J. Kim makes the feeling that you leave part of yourself behind in your home very real in her upcoming novel Sublimation. The author of “Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid In the Omelas Hole” follows two versions of main character Soyoung Rose Kang. Rose has lived in America since she was 10, only returning to Korea after the copy of herself that stayed behind calls her home for their grandfather’s funeral.
