About the Author
Why Truth Matters 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 philosophy & ethics work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. Philosophy is woven through the entire catalog, but these 40 dedicated titles tackle the big questions head-on rather than embedding them in fiction or memoir.
