Description

“Over time, in reading all these masters of tragedy, I have come to recognize the piteous pattern of human feelings. They are incapable of compassion if it is not for the dead…. It is not merely the selfishness in spending emotions on someone alive, but the act of seeing oneself tied in the hands of fate that makes our kind love tragedies more than they are capable of loving another living human. I can not bring myself to die for them, but I can kill. Since it was not to be a human, I settled for killing…”

An author who is ready to kill for the sake of her pen has dedicated her blood and soul to the art of words, yet this dedication falls short in having to express herself. And the namesake protagonist of this book is that author. To Schrivera was written in hopes, by another author, of reaching an audience that would receive it with as much understanding as the barrier of language would permit. Charlotte Zeller makes your acquaintance with her best friend, an aspiring author. In a series of letters and poems addressed to Schrivera, she pours the details of her journey with the pen. As mundane as her struggles and feelings are, they appeal to Schrivera to at least feel them, if not understand. As you stand in Schrivera’s shoes, how do you turn your back on words that are directed to not merely be read but to be experienced? As mundane as her experiences are, you can not deny them validity. And perhaps, as the end nears, you watch something non-mundane unfold.

The author reaches over the barricades of constructed signifiers desperately attempting to signify her mind’s content. Ultimately, one must contemplate whether she is addressing Schrivera or you.
