The End of August

© Riverhead Books

“…only those who have been deprived of their name can understand     the feeling of hunger that comes from not being allowed to use their true name     not being called their true name     in-hale ex-hale     in-hale ex-hale     the Korean people are starving because our rations for rice, wheat, and sugar are so small     but what we are most starved for is names     the Korean people are hungry for our own names…”

-Yu Miri, The End of August

‎Your name is unique for its own origin story and its purpose is the reason why that’s your name.

‎Some people don’t know why their name is their name but others know why and how their name is created.

‎Some people have the same name as other people, but it doesn’t mean that they are the same person.

‎Names are unique; when you call someone by their name, you know the person well.

‎Our name is rooted in fatherhood’s last name, and that name is above all that influences your character and culture.

‎In the name of the Father lies the power.
