Phil Hallie was a reluctant narrativist (Lorenz 1998). But he was one nonetheless. In Tales of Good and Evil, Help and Harm, he apologizes to his mother for telling her story and then goes on to write about her. He can’t help himself. He writes:Now here’s a good way to do concrete ethics: Don’t just tell stories interpreted in the old words of ethical theories. Show the intimate feelings of the storyteller, me!
…After all, good and evil are as personal as love and hate. And that means bringing mama into it, her terror, the mortal fear that perhaps all Jews feel after what the Nazis did (Hallie 1997).
