“The author offered to you, Rene Maori, is extremely convincing in depicting reality. Perhaps because he doesn’t invent it or invent it. In any case, this is exactly the feeling the reader gets. Rene Maori writes in simple language, devoid of pretentiousness and falsehood, so inherent in modern glamorous texts. He writes about what he sees, feels and experiences. And since life itself is often so phantasmagorical that it seems as if Rene Maori only needed to write down what he saw more accurately, so that completely prosaic plots would acquire a touch of fantasticality and implausibility.” Alexander Papchenko, member of the Union of Writers of Russia, 2009. Before you is the second book of the three-volume series “Dark” Mirrors" by Rene Maori, including four stories.
