A Korean poet living in Seoul has stopped speaking. It’s not a protest, a neurological condition, or a conceptual artwork—the woman in question would like to speak but can’t. She visits a therapist, who asks about her childhood memories and recent dreams and twines them into an elegant hypothesis to explain her problem. “I understand how much you’ve suffered,” the therapist says. The woman knows, with “a serene certainty,” that the therapist is wrong; he doesn’t understand her. But who is going to help her now?
