Charles Bukowski - American author

I was just wondering if anyone knew what bukowski thought about J.D Saliger. I only remember him mentioning him once, something about Salinger "deciding the world wasn't worth writing for". I have also heard some speculation about Buk naming "Ham on Rye" as some sort of homage to "Cather In the Rye", But i don't really buy into that . It just doesn't seem like his style. I always thought Bukowski would like "Cather..." despite the fact it is about a rich kid who complains a lot, because it is very honest writing. So does anyone know the official story (if there is any)?

Thanks
