Charles Bukowski - American author

since having read bukowski since HS in the mid 70's, i have collected many of his books, however only recently have i paid any attention to his indicated influences, such as hamsun celine dostoyevsky fante jeffers hemingway et al

well in the past month i have started on dostoyevsky, fante and jeffers

i see many similarities from jeffers but not so much from dostoyevsky nor fante

i will continue throught to hamsun and celine

i know hemingway and as with fante, bukowski may have admired them, but i dont see any similarities in the writing

HAS anyone else here made this/these comparision ? ? And if so, what where your findings ? ?
