Peter Sotos isn't really a "novelist" to my mind. More of an "essayist," and you need a really strong stomach for that stuff. I have the Sotos compilation "Total Abuse," and while it is interesting enough, I have to really be in the mood. I can't relate to him in most ways, but his persepctive is interesting if disturbing on several levels.
That guy seriously offends most people.
Edit:
I stand corrected. He has written several novels.
