Editorial Reviews

"Everything Is Ori is a mind-bending, offbeat exploration of the worth and true nature of human life." —Foreword Reviews

"A page-turning read . . . intriguing." —Tony Malone

"A modern mythical tale... an elaborate story in which something will change everyone and everything in the world as we know it... I must say that this translated novel is a piece of art. Often, one can feel a translation, even when it is well done, but not here. David Warriner has managed to do more than just transpose Forest’s work into English. His work has all the markings of a novel able to stand on its own. I forecast a long life for the English incarnation!"—Montreal Review of Books
