Praise for The Eye Stone "Tiraboschi is part of the great tradition of European storytellers and yet he reminds readers of contemporary classics like Perfume by Sskind and Ingenious Pain by Andrew Miller." --Sergio Pent "Setting the action in medieval Venice was a stroke of genius, thanks to Tiraboschi's keen historical eye and sense of atmosphere." --ShelfAwareness "Roberto Tiraboschi knows how to recount a city and an era that are both poisoned by intrigue and violance. His writing is powerful and evocative." -- Venerd di Repubblica "A compelling, enlightening read with characters exhibiting both strength and weakness in physcal and moral terms, each one appealing in a distinct way and a great twist at the end. If you love Italy, Venice, history, mystery, a good story...you have them all right here." --Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association "A generous, thrilling look at the birth of modernity and the embryonic splendors of a city that is unique in the world." -- La Stampa "Tiraboschi is playful enough to weave in a good deal of profanity and even some buffoonery and also insightful enough to remind the reader periodically of the sheer technological miracle that sits perched so cheaply and easily on the bridge of their nose, allowing them to read the pages in front of them." --Open Letters Monthly, "Setting the action in medieval Venice was a stroke of genius, thanks to Tiraboschi's keen historical eye and sense of atmosphere." - ShelfAwareness "A compelling, enlightening read with characters exhibiting both strength and weakness in physcal and moral terms, each one appealing in a distinct way and a great twist at the end.
