The storyteller jodi picoult review7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() The interesting thing, of course, is that any Jew (would have sufficed), which lets you know there wasn't a lot of evolution going on in this Nazi's mind. That triggered a memory of the Wiesenthal book, which is about his being called to the bedside of a dying Nazi officer who wants to atone for his actions and have a Jew forgive him. I thought about what would be the worst thing anybody could ever do, and immediately my brain went to the Holocaust. I was thinking about the nature of good and evil, and whether if someone did something truly heinous, then spent their whole lives trying to make up for it, whether that would ever really erase the stain. ![]() A seed of "The Storyteller" was Simon Wiesenthal's "The Sunflower," about his time in a Nazi concentration camp.Ī: Yeah, I'd read it a long time ago. If anyone calls "The Storyteller" chick lit, I'll be shocked. When I think of the staples of chick lit, like "Bridget Jones's Diary" and Jennifer's books, and the book covers that came in a parade of pastels, there was a look and a feel and a sound to those books, and I don't feel my books fit that category. ![]()
