Here, the silent woman’s story is complemented by that of her teacher, who is gradually going blind and has returned to Seoul after a long period of living in Germany. Episodes from his past introduce a number of other characters whose stories remain only tangential, partially glimpsed, and which suggest estrangements, early deaths, physical and emotional displacement. But the teacher contrasts powerfully with his silent counterpart; as he loses his footing in the world – at one point, literally tumbling down a stairwell – he clings to and cherishes each moment of vision that remains to him, even as he begins to develop the resilience to accept its imminent departure.Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish—the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language. Yet these are the very things that draw them to each other. Slowly the two discover a profound sense of unity—their voices intersecting with startling beauty, asthey move from darkness to light, from silence to breath and expression.
