Her memoir belongs to the type that maintains an ongoing tension between the concealed and the revealed, the guilt of the mother who feels she has abandoned her child and to preserve her defenses has created a tellable tale (in 1981, the same year Stark's book was published, Isabelle Vital-Tihany published La Vie sauve about how she survived in Budapest in 1944-45).
A narrative ocean Because the range of tellable stories is unlimited, readers who dip their net often enough into the ocean of narrative are almost certain to encounter the particular story they need to hear, whether the story confirms the essential goodness of human beings or opens the reader's eyes to injustice, selfishness, and vice.
