Résumé
Alice Munro’s short story “The View from Castle Rock” is largely inspired by her ancestors’ journey from Scotland to Canada, where they settled. Her fictionalized account of the journey is centred on the ship, described as the heterotopia par excellence, which allows her to highlight the turning points in her characters’ trajectories, revealing “lines of flight.” But Munro also uses her ancestors’ transatlantic crossing to claim her Scottish and literary heritages. She also suggests crossings into her earlier works.
