Palimpsest: Documents From a Korean Adoption (Swedish: Palimpsest) is a graphic novel written by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom [sv] (Korean: 정울림), a South Korea-born Swedish cartoonist. It was originally published in Swedish in 2016 by Ordfront.[1]
It details her quest to discover her origins as, with the assistance of a Korean-speaking friend and her spouse, she navigates the bureaucracy and false statements in South Korean adoption papers supplied by agencies trying to mislead her.
Receptionedit
Karla Strand of Ms. Magazine stated that the book "challenges existing notions of adoption and identity while stressing the importance of owning your own narrative."[2] Chris Gavaler of Popmatters wrote that the document-heavy approach of the work was atypical.[3]
Publishers Weekly wrote that it was "An unflinching indictment of foreign adoption, Sjöblom’s story is also, ironically, an homage to the chosen family who help her find her first family."[4] It describes portions as "text-heavy".[4]
In 2019 Rachel Cooke of The Guardian described it as one of several "best graphic novels of 2019".[5]
Translationsedit
Its English translation, published in 2019 by Drawn & Quarterly, was by Hanna Strömberg, Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom, and Richey Wyver.
It was published in Spanish, with Carmen Montes as the translator, by Barbara Fiore Editora as Palimpsesto in 2019.[6]
