Summary/Abstract: Mihai Sin is one of the prose writers who can be included in the prose of daily life, his books always produced moderate reactions, but without making too much noise. His books always produced moderate reactions. His destiny as a writer is far from having received the true "frame", even if he writes at a time favourable to Romanian literature, when many young talents are discovered, being encouraged by social and political conditions since 1989. He does not want to write about a certain social category, he does not fix a certain one category of heroes, but wants to achieve a moral universe, which is true Mihai Sin writes without complex. He tries to never summarize destinies, but only states and situations, because of this Mihai Sin's short prose fits into a realism of details, through the detailed description of social issues, thus building frescoes of a drifting society. Mihai Sin is an authentic prose writer, a moralist with moderation and justice. His destiny as a writer is far from receiving the true "frame",even if he wrote at a turning point in Romanian literature. Cultivation of short prose a was a concern of the writer, who understood that short prose means the need for topicality, of direct and immediate approach to the realities we live. At the same time, this literary genre represents an intermediate stage towards the novel.
