"Fais, at one point, writes about the way a faithful crosses himself, in order to transform the ephemeral into eternal. Another way to achieve this is to write like Fais."

Alexandros Nehamas ("The Anglo-Hellenic Review", No 41, Spring 2010)

"In all the stories of the collection, we find the robust writing of Fais's novel ["Autobiography of a Book"]: personal style, rich language, narrative ease, epigrammatic characterization and humor, elements that reconnect modernity with our best narrative tradition."

Dimitris Rautopoulos ("Nea Estia", vol. 1719, January 2000)

"Penetrating, impressively versatile and linguistically armed, M.F. proves himself in the collection "From the Same Glass". His stories leave the feeling of a Balkan melancholy.

Demosthenes Kurtovic ("Ta Nea", 8-9/1/2000)

"Fais cares for style and acts with style. His speech is often oral, he knows that writing is the delegate of speech. He has realized that sound, the raw material of the word, acts magically on the reader, like music with its sympathetic magic."

Pavlos Matessis ("Odos Panos", No 110, October-December 2000)

"Here Fais seems to have found his deepest needs. There is a demon in the conception of the story, in the narrative development that unfolds exemplarily, in the familiarity with the events. One needs to have attended a special school to convincingly render so many professions, so many aspects of neglected life, so many local secrets."
