Let me tell you about Charles Bukowski. He was an American poet who became famous at the end of his career,a perfect example of what we call 'an indian summer', someone who achieves success late in thier career. Prior to becoming famous, he worked as a postman,getting constantly hired & fired in and out of different blue collar jobs.
He was a nihilist who spent most part of his life writing fiction and poetry.He never cared for fame or success and looked down on those writers who made it to the top.Strange as it may seem,when he made it and achieved money and fame,the first thing he bought was a blue BMW,but he kept on living the way he had all along.
He led a one-way life and left a legacy of beautiful poems.He's best remembered for his short fiction,but it is in his poems that we will find the true Charles Bukowski.
