Re: The Literature of Cruelty.
THE CONSUMER by Michael Gira.
Hard to find cheap but I assure you the tone is unremittingly cruel and void of even a shred of dignity.

One I haven't got to myself yet is TODDLER HUNTING AND OTHER STORIES by Kono Taeko, which I believe is rife with cruelty.
Different from THE PAINTED BIRD but equally shattering are Kosinski's COCKPIT and STEPS. Don't come back whimpering that you didn't ask for this ;)
