Worse Sex is not awarded. Bad Sex in the literature rather. The Literary Review awards for 26 years, the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. Thus the London magazine “the worst description of a sex scene selects in an otherwise good novel.” The prize is intended to draw attention to “the crude, tasteless, often superficial use of redundant passages of a sexual nature” and “your counter”. In the current Shortlist, for example, like this:
reads “… she asked him to go deeper, and hurt longer fearing her, before he penetrated deep into the mind and the body, in cavities full of organs, to the contours of your lung and the liver is over, and your heart reeling, he felt her perfection.” The Irish author Mary Costello writes in her book “The River Capture”, the “Guardian” had already been praised as a “courageous act of literary belly talking”. Costello’s Passage of some of the masses is terrible, but not worthy of an award.
the French Goncourt prize winner, Didier Decoin, and the English novelist John Harvey have Won. In his novel “The Ministry of the gardens and ponds”, in the Japan of the 12th century. Century plays, portrays Decoin, as a woman massaging male genitals. The felt, as you would edit “a small monkey, the clenches his paw into a fist”. And in Harvey’s “Pax” is the title of it: “her eyes were full of hunger. As his own they were fire and desire. More than glowing, more than tropical: The two rode on the Equator. They hugged, than you could get with forced to Keep welded together.”
The two winners-texts.
For the first Time since two candidates share the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. “We believe that the British Public will understand our plight,” said the Jury. The Shortlist also Elizabeth Gilbert was represented, author of the bestseller “Eat Pray Love”, used in a scene of your novel “City of Girls” martial metaphors: “Then I screamed as if I had been from a train passing over, and with his long Arm he was trying to cover their mouths, and like a wounded soldier in a bullet to bite, I bit into his Hand. And then it was the Highest, and more or less I died.”
Gilbert’s novel “the Guardian called” by the way “a magnificent, multi-faceted celebration of femininity”. Also the “reddish-brown, malty Interior of your Bars”, the Australian-American writer Dominic Smith describes in “The Electric Hotel”, and let the jurors did not go through.
In the past year, the Bad Sex was in Fiction Award to the American James Frey. The set itself against the – exclusively male – competition only by the “sheer amount and length of dubious erotic passages in this book”. This year, were considered in the Shortlist, after all, also the author of the inside.
Michel Houellebecq, often a favorite, and I missed out on the Shortlist, almost, it was called. In his novel “Serotonin” found passages like “you waited until we were in the water … to her moist body, my triumphant parts of the Phallus”. However, the Jury found, had written the sex scenes in the same tone as the Rest of the “Serotonin”.
