Charles Bukowski, c.1981, photo by Mark Hanauer
Writing the post on Dishwasher Pete, it came to mind that Charles Bukowski and him got one thing in common: Living on the edge of society’s boundaries and getting respect for that as well, in retrospect. They both had so called simple, meaningless jobs, and wrote about that. (Yes, we are aware of the fact that the comparison stops there.)So everybody, try to pick up a pen and write about your life, you never know where that ship strands if you don’t try!
