Is real life experience and honesty the lost art of writers today? Why is Charles Bukowski so talented?

How can one man be so based just lmao

He wasn't talented at all, he just happened to fit an underutilized niche of basic working class mediocrity by living it at a time when it wasn't that hard to get published because the internet and other contemporary distractions hadn't killed the market yet.
