      Praise for Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès

      “Those of you who stay with Blas de Roblès’s ultimately quite satisfying novel will find yourselves with a new European literary star to steer by.”

      —Alan Cheuse, NPR

      “Psychodrama meets history meets mystery—vintage Umberto Eco territory, as practiced by French philosophy professor turned novelist Blas de Roblès.”

      —Kirkus

      “This encyclopedic and mystifying novel, full of picaresque adventures, delights and fascinates. . . . A marvelous, dizzying galaxy, spiraling to the end of the novel.”

      —Le Figaro littéraire

      “This dazzling book is itself such a mountain, overflowing with visions that dramatically enlarge the reader’s imaginative horizons.”

      —Booklist (starred review)

      “Blas de Roblès simultaneously channels Umberto Eco, Indiana Jones, and Jorge Amado.”

      —Publishers Weekly

      “Where Tigers Are at Home is a great enough work that I would gladly travel through its treacherous pages again.”

      —Rain Taxi Review of Books
