Bierce is indeed wrenching. There was a marvelous chapter in Drew Gilpin Faust's This Republic of Suffering, which discusses Bierce in context of changing attitudes about death following the Civil War. I only mention it because it provided some context for his work and made me see it in a whole new life. I'm surprised how little he's taught in American lit classes. (Along with Jack London.) Either writer, in my mind, is as masterful as Hemingway. (And just as disturbing.)
