Reading Experience
At 39,994 words across roughly 160 pages, this one runs about 3.3 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For travel & places, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, The Art of the Detour comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this travel & places work represents persistence through industry rejection. Rooted in the geography of Pune, Maharashtra, and India, the travel writing carries the specificity of places actually known and lived in.
