‘Throwing Stones at the Moon’ Reviewed on the Huffington Post

Posted on July 11, 2012

Voice of Witness is delighted to share an early review of Throwing Stones at the Moon: Narratives from Colombians Displaced by Violence, featured this week on the Huffington Post.

Reviewer Dan Kovalik writes:

“The soon-to-be-released book, Throwing Stones At The Moon (Voice of Witness, 2012) reads like a collection of literary short stories, but, in this case, the stories are both real and horrifying. The stories of those gathered in Moon are told by the Colombian victims of human rights abuses themselves…Given that these voices are rarely heard, this book is invaluable.”
