Reading Experience
At 39,944 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 true crime, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
The Ponzi Scheme Diaries 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 true crime work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. True crime writing that requires the same unflinching honesty that characterizes the best of the non-fiction catalog.
