Editor's Note:
„Din echipa de aur a Opiniei studenţeşti, revista ieşeană cu faimă naţională după decembrie ’89, făcea parte şi o zgîtie de fată, cam fragilă pentru o meserie practicată în vremuri atît de tulburi. Aparenţele erau înşelătoare. Zgîtia s-a ţinut scai de minerii care plantau flori, cu bîta, în Piaţa Universităţii, fără să ia bătaie. O lună mai tîrziu se afla în Valea Jiului, înnopta în casa unui miner şi intra în abataj, să vadă cum trăiesc minerii. În gaşca aia de golani, cum ar fi zis Ion Iliescu, toţi talentaţi, inteligenţi şi hotărîţi să termine cu trecutul, scrisul ei avea câteva date clare. Orice temă ar fi abordat, intra în subiect direct, simplu, fără fasoane, fără inhibiţii. Lucru şi mai neobişnuit, punea punct articolelor la fel de brusc, cam pieziş, cam şui, acolo unde considera că orice cuvînt în plus nu-şi avea rostul. Apoi, ştia să facă personaje din oamenii, vestiţi sau iluştri necunoscuţi, despre care vorbea. În fine, mai avea şi darul de a povesti cu umor şi cu olecuţă de autoironie, cît să facă suportabilă viaţa la vreme de restrişte. Toate acestea m-au făcut să-mi zic că în tînăra domniţă doarme un scriitor. Aşa că nu m-am mirat că pînă la urmă chiar a scris o carte. Asta pe care o aveţi în mînă. Şi care, deloc întîmplător, se cheamă Râsul. Cu douăsprezece povestiri rupte din viaţă. Dorina Rusu îmi pare un povestaş plin de farmec. Povestaş în sensul alegoriei prin care Mario Vargas Llosa desemna scriitorul. Adică un om cu darul de a duce şi de a aduce veştile şi poveştile cu oameni şi despre oameni. De citit.” (Neculai Constantin Munteanu)
