Are these books OK for a VERY mature 12 year old boy?

Question

Would the following books be appropriate for a mature 12 yr old boy:

White Teeth - Zadie Smith
The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
A Fraction of the Whole - John Holtz
A Fine Balance - Mistry Rohinton
The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter
And The *** Saw The Angel - Nick Cave

Thanks ! :)
Please note: the 12 yr old boy is very mature, has read "Interview with the Vampire", "The Colour Purple", "Wicked" and other adult novels, and is fully aware of sexual topics such as rape, genital mutilation, menstrual cycles, prostitution, puberty, fellatio, etc....
He is dying to read all of the books and needs to know whether they're ok... thanks heaps!
