Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published thirteen collections of stories as well as a novel, Lives of Girls and Women, and two volumes of Selected Stories. During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards and prizes, including three of Canada’s Governor General’s Literary Awards and two of its Giller Prizes, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the Lannan Literary Award, England’s W. H. Smith Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Man Booker International Prize. In 2013 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her story “The Bear Came Over the mountain” was filmed by Sarah Polley as Away from Her, and “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage” as Hateship Loveship. She lives in Port Hope, Canada, on Lake Ontario.
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.
評分如果說電影最後給瞭我們這對母女關係會好的一絲希望,那原著的絕望程度把這絲微光徹底掐滅。沒有什麼仇怨,隻是互相疏遠的一對母女覺得彼此在自己生命中似乎沒什麼用處和意義,見麵隻會徒增情感共享的傷痛。過於細膩的情感和心理描寫,常常讓我淚流滿麵。
