Literature

A brief and intense narrative about grief, guilt, and the distance between two sisters, where physical pain becomes the metaphor of an inner wound that cannot heal. In *Convalescence*, Han Kang intertwines body and memory to portray a loss that finds no cure, yet through writing discovers a fragile form of recomposition.

In Opera aperta, Umberto Eco argues that modern art is fundamentally “open,” meaning that artworks invite active interpretation and participation from the reader, listener, or viewer.
Drawing on avant-garde music, literature, and philosophy, he shows how contemporary works deliberately create multiple possible meanings rather than a single fixed interpretation.
