#ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN FACE THE SKY - VIANVI: BOOK and PRODUCT REVIEWS

Feb 6 · 4 minutes

ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN FACE THE SKY Vianvi Podcast Book Review 2018 #3 by Viga Boland If you decide to read All the Ways You can Face the Sky by Farlo Ben Truman…and you should…prepare yourself for a very different journey into literary fiction. Truman’s approach might initially confuse you: it will take a while to figure out just what he is doing.
