About the Author
What the Mirror Doesn't Show was written in 2016, when Atharva Inamdar was 19 and developing what would become The Vomit Method — marathon writing sessions of 20 hours a day, 15 days straight, to finish a book. The essays & reflections work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. The essay collections capture thinking in progress — less polished than the fiction, more honest, and often more revealing about the author behind the catalog.
