| Somewhere in Europe in the 1980s. An
introverted University student falls in love with a colleague. An unreciprocated
infatuation like that might have happened to anyone but, over 10 years later, the
obsession still controls the protagonist's life...
In "A Certified Letter" the
unfulfilled passion is also a pretext to set on a spiritual journey through the realms of
universal human experience, exploring such themes as overcoming trauma and disillusion,
confrontation with death or quest for the Absolute. The sender of the letter - a
mysterious figure with no name and undefined gender brings to mind a symbolic Everyman or
any introspective individual constrained to come to terms with existence in a corrupt
world where one would like to take "a leave from life".
Written in a loose eclectic form,
intertwined with poems, the narrative expands dynamically in its vivid, palpable imagery
until it reaches its surprising climax.
