The Three Stories that Inspired the Movie

With a foreword by Pedro Almodóvar

Alice Munro is cherished for her exquisite, affecting meditations on the human heart. In these three linked stories, “Chance,” “Soon,” and “Silence”—which, together, inspired Pedro Almodóvar’s film Julieta—her virtuosic talents are once again on display. The stories follow a schoolteacher named Juliet as she is swept up by fate: meeting an older man on a train and starting an affair; later, visiting her parents as a young mother; and later still, searching for contact with her estranged daughter. As with all of Munro’s characters, Juliet radiates warmth, dignity, and hope, even as she is unflinching in the face of betrayal and loss. In Munro’s hands, her journey is as surprising, extraordinary, and precious as life itself.

This’s my first time to read Munro in English and it felt really different from her other stories I’ve read in Chinese. Themes and story lines are similar but the writing style seems to be much simpler. I wonder if it’s a translation problem or it might be Munro’s shift of writing. Honestly I was surprised by how simple yet still powerful it is.

写了一个女性的一生，人生兜兜转转，在和文学，学业，爱情，父母，孩子的联系和分离后，最后还是和自己过一生。时间上三篇连续，可内容上没有太大的联系。从小说中时间点的选择，叙事的展开，节奏的控制，人物形象克制的留白处理，可以看到门罗纯熟的写作技巧，细致、精密又让故事在理解和诠释上有了更大的空间，这种空间可以调动起读者的自身经验，让故事传达出更深远的触动。
