The actress Kristen Stewart calls herself a “pseudo-student” of Yuknavitch’s, and flew to Oregon “with very sweaty hands” to meet the writer after reading “The Chronology of Water” on a film set. In the five years since, she has spent time with Yuknavitch’s family.
“She has opened up to me in full. I wish I knew her in so many stages of her life,” Stewart wrote in an email, adding that her mentorship has “changed or at least helped shape my relationship with expression itself. Not a small thing.” (Yuknavitch feels similarly, saying she believes the two have “a kindred art link.”)
Later this year, Stewart will direct the film adaptation of “The Chronology of Water,” which she also wrote. Yuknavitch is a story consultant on the project.
“Traditional structure was something that I always felt would ruin how uniquely true it feels,” Stewart said. “So it has been tricky!”
