AB - Astrid Trotzig’s autobiographic novel Blood is Thicker Than Water is worthy of notice among numerous prevalent “roots trips” of adoptee writers so far. This paper claims that Trotzig wants to be disappointed with her Korean visit in some respect. Concerning Korea, she feels a sense of unheimlich during her stay, when she first acknowledges the distances created between her and Korea, which would remain from then on. Her ambivalent feeling towards Korea appears in her work in a form of ambivalent literary style. This paper endeavours to read “in” and “out” aspects of her work. Such research helps us understand the complex mentality of adoptees who are ambivalent toward their birth country. Above all, this paper tries to meet ‘Europeanized’ adoptee who is different from stereotyped adoptees introduced in Korean media.
