This review is from: Fugitive Visions: An Adoptee's Return to Korea (Graywolf Press) (Paperback)
Jane Jeong Trenka's willingness to stay with the pain of her alternate lives as a transnationally adopted infant, an exiled Korean child in America, a returnee to Korea where she was neither truly Korean nor truly "other" --is one of the bravest journeys of discovery and naming I've ever seen. It is amazing, and should be required reading for anyone considering transnational adoption: the price exacted from the adoptee is all visible here, and it is heartrending. This is a fine piece of writing and an important book. Highly recommended.Janey Bennett author, The Pale Surface of Things

You Can Never Go Home,
This review is from: Fugitive Visions: An Adoptee's Return to Korea (Graywolf Press) (Paperback)
In a sea of adoption memoirs Fugitive Visions soars high above the rest. Not another "must read" filled with the stuff we need, but one you will savior reading and re-reading for its delicate flavors whether or not you have any connection to, or interest in, adoption or Korea.Trenka shares her pain without bitterness or anger in a book about a life which like the Joni Mitchell song looks at life from both sides now. |
