Hi, being an avid fan of both the short story form and Bukowski himself, I am writing my degree dissertation on the topic. I was wondering if anyone knew whether there was a specific period of Bukowski's career where he wrote primarily short stories so i can narrow down my time frame? I want to try and figure out who his contemporaries were as well so I can place him in the literary canon- what was he doing differently to those who came before and what were his possible influences?
Thanks,
Thanks,
