About the Author
Unfinished Portraits 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 literary fiction work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. The literary fiction showcases the full range of the craft — character work, prose style, and thematic depth without the guardrails of genre conventions.
