Charles Bukowski

Indeed it is true...

Even a choice not to be political, is political. When I say political I mean it in the widest sense....criticising society, social strcuture relations, to alter other peoples' ideas and perceptions. I don't think writing being political is necessarily a bad thing.

If you are interested take a read of George Orwells essay: Why I write!

'The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.' - Orwell
