[Writers in Conversation] Where My Name Came From
A name is more than a sign that refers to someone; it is a possibility that holds invisible time and stories. It is the first sentence of our existence and the secret key that connects us to the world. Thus, to name someone is to call forth a story into the world that does not yet exist. It is another name for memory, as well as the start of an unforgettable narrative. Here, three writers who have explored the ins and outs of names will gather for a conversation. Writers who have rewritten names, recovered names, and called out names. The moment a name is called, the story begins. Listen closely in this moment to the voices of the ones calling and the ones being called as they intersect and open up a path to each other’s worlds. • Language: Korean, English
