Daniel Schertzer

Daniel Schertzer, writer

Daniel Schertzer grew up in Vancouver, British Colombia and found his passion for creative writing while studying at the University of Victoria. In his stories Daniel often draws from his love of the outdoors. He takes inspiration from childhood camping trips, months spent backpacking through the Appalachian Mountains as a teenager, and from his time in the BC Wildfire Service. Daniel currently lives in Glasgow, Scotland. When he’s not writing you can find him at the local pub, going on walks with friends, or playing ultimate frisbee.

Jungleland — Volume 10, Issue 2

In the digressive intimacy of pasta night, Daniel Schertzer transforms farfalle and gluten suspicions into an entry point where Springsteen’s piano, Clarence Clemons’ transcendent saxophone, and the small rituals of overcooking dinner converge in unexpected grace in his essay Jungleland.
