Samuel Delany's Hogg comes to mind as something to consider...
Intentionally vulgar, pornographic, and offensive it offers rapists-for-hire, pedophilia, murder among many other unforgivable acts and characters. I am unsure of the ultimate moral structure or the exact point of the text other than to shock. Published most recently by FC2 press it could offer some answers, questions or problems with the aforementionned ideas of fiction andthe novel. Praised by some for its vision, boldness and reluctance to conform to traditional standards, Icould only make it through a chapter.
-But what to do with a novel no one wants to read?
Until then, let us mourn the surprise loss of Omar (a tragedy unmatched since Stringer Bell). Hopefully he,too, did not regret a life led until this point
