The book that I will be reviewing is The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. The Storyteller takes place somewhat in the present, with a glimpse into the past throughout the novel. It starts with a sad beginning, people attending grief counseling due to people that they have lost in their lives. The main character of the story, Sage, is attending these classes due to the death of her parents, which she believes is her fault due to the car accident that they were in. She meets an elderly man there, but he does not announce or discuss his grief at the meetings they attend together. They form an unlikely friendship, which causes Josef, the old man, to reveal his past to her and why he goes to the grief meetings. (Spoiler Alert!) He revealed to her that he is a former Nazi soldier and that he deserves to die. 
The story continues to discuss the idea of injustice, which is something that we discussed in class. Whether systematic or personal injustices, something that we have mentioned in class throughout the semester is the idea of one’s personal rights being stripped away from them or not given to them in the first place. Injustice carries itself in many forms throughout this novel, especially when Josef reveals his wrongdoings he committed to the innocent people he came in contact with. He explains to Sage different experiences he had while serving as a Nazi soldier, the people he remembered killing, the different commands he was ordered to follow, as well as why he chose to join in the first place. Sage tries to be understanding of his story, considering it happened a long time before they met and that he became a beloved man in the community he moved to afterwards. But, what ties Sage up in the story is not the story itself, but the similarities it has to what little she knew about her grandmothers’ experience as a Jew in the concentration camps. She persuades her grandmother to tell her side of the story, which allows a new set of injustice of harboring the grief and sadness of living through something like this. This story allows readers to focus on not repeating the past and remembering what you can do to people with the injustices and violence you partake in. It also shows how much being different than someone else can cause so much hate for no reason. This is similar to multiple stories that we read in class, the idea of being the “other”, the idea of being the lower group or a government having complete power, as well as your culture heritage not being respected and trying to be diminished. I think this is a great example of our classwork and a great read.
