Oh definitely, it’s right there in his Wikipedia summary (with some… other stuff)
Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read was an Australian convicted criminal, gang member and author. Read wrote a series of semi-autobiographical fictional crime novels and children’s books.
Correct! When I clicked on it and read “Chopper” Read I was like “wait I have definitely heard of this guy as something other than an author.”
Not really determinism unless his name was Mark Career Criminal but that’s ok
Hey, he’s a guy called Read that wrote some excellent books. That works for nominative determinism.
He did something else first, but he’s still a good enough writer to be classified as such.
