Stack sets up Every Man in this Village is a Liar in a sequential and methodical way. The chapters are based on themes, with each chapter focusing on a different country she reported from and her personal interactions and descriptions of her time in them. Despite the sequential setup of the memoir, it still comes off as bouncing from country to country and interaction to interaction. Stack could have included more information between her different narratives rather than jumping between stories. This could have improved how the memoir read, but it still is put together successfully.
In the end, this memoir is a compelling read. It shouldn’t be described as an entertaining novel because it’s such a heavy topic, but it keeps the reader interested
