This, certainly, is beyond dispute. With 14 story collections, her psychologically subtle stories are nothing if not personal — and all the more intimate for it.
While many literary titans are known for either their poetry or epic novels, Munro stands apart for her skill as a short story writer.
Of this fact, she has said:. I was going to write a novel. And still! I still come up with ideas for novels. And I even start novels. But something happens to them. They break up. I look at what I really want to do with the material, and it never turns out to be a novel. But when I was younger, it was simply a matter of expediency.
Some of this was before the days of automatic washing machines, if you can actually believe it. The idea is as wild as the mess they're about to create.

Jan 31, Myra Leysorek rated it it was amazing. Id read these stories before, in the original collection Runaway, but I found it worthwhile to reread them after seeing the movie they inspired.
And now I think I should reread the collection as Munro arranged them, to find the connections that she made by putting them with others.
But it was a nice way to round out the experience of seeing the movie, to see how Almodovar changed the stories to make a movie plot. Aug 01, Lisa rated it liked it. I'd really give this 3. It's a short collection of three short stories by Alice Munro all of them having the same main character Julieta. In the collection, the reader can see the whole progression of Julieta's adult life.
Alice Munro is a genius at creating a whole life and scene in as few words as possible. Sep 24, Marianne rated it really liked it. Master writer with such elegant subtleness, as a whisper in the ear, Munro tells the life of Juliet to the reader. I found the protagonist likeable, intelligent and above all human. I intend to watch the movie soon to relive these images.
Jun 27, Mary Sisney rated it really liked it. Although I didn't like the main character Juliet in this collection of three related stories, Munro's portraits of sick women and dysfunctional relationships are intriguing. Feb 03, Jasmine Gu rated it it was amazing.

Aug 25, Louise rated it it was ok Shelves: fiction-into-film-group-books. Just not for me really, didn't really grab my attention, pleasant enough but not very interesting. Oct 15, anna b rated it it was ok Shelves: I like the style of the book, how different stages of life transit through the three stories but I can't feel much from the book other than a tinge of poignancy. Sep 09, Starre Vartan rated it it was amazing.
Does anyone capture the horrible sadness of the human condition like Munro? Aug 14, Luke Smith rated it really liked it. A short but powerful story of a mother and daughter. A real masterclass in doing a lot with very little. The characters almost step off the page acompanied by sparce, evocative description. Wasn't impressed. Too slow for my taste. Jul 20, Bianca rated it liked it Shelves: fiction. I recommend reading the book first before watching the film Julieta.
Feb 22, Josie Rideg rated it it was amazing. Excellent read. Interesting to know Pedro Almodavar based hu Is film on These stories. Jan 10, Candy rated it really liked it. This is a set of three stories Chance, Soon and Silence which were first published by the New Yorker in Then it was republished in a book called Runaway.
I don't have any experience with Alice Monroe. I had read one short story. Many friends love her writing and so I thought I would give it a try. I agree she is a great writer, but I'm not sure if I am on the same planet with her.
I understood the stories, but didn't feel much but sadness. I will have to think about it more. Dec 29, J Lopez rated it it was amazing Shelves: adult-books , short-stories-novellas , family.
