Bewildering Stories introduces and welcomes...

Philip Graubart

Philip is a rabbi and professor at the Academy for Jewish Religion, in California. He has published six novels.

“The Righteous Gentile” depicts a young man, Nathan, as an audience who is confused by a significant conflict in his grandfather’s story about escaping the Holocaust in Hungary in 1944. Did the family escape despite a young girl’s acting treacherously or because she was a kind of rescuing angel? A literary lesson is involved: stories depend not only on who the teller is but also on the nature of the intended audience.
