The White Book (by Kang Han)

Is anyone else a bit disappointed, or should I say, bewildered by this novel? Don't get me wrong, the language and the way we get to see through Han's poetic lense is incredible, most surely the descriptions of MC's pain/struggle with the color "white"...but there's nothing more to it then descriptions of pain. Of course one could say that suffering, especially trauma don't have to have a conclusion, nor an actual end...but what is the point in writing about it then? To make people feel less alone? To make yourself feel less alone? Why does it seem like the novel wants you to be hopeless...
