I am always surprised when the “Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction” winner is announced. It’s always a pretty big-name author with a pretty awful excerpt. I can’t believe some of these analogies and descriptions make it through. This year’s is REALLY bad.

You can go read the Guardian article with the full excerpt at the bottom.

“Excrement”?! Come on! Are you serious? How in the world do you connect those dots? How many revisions did he have to go through to develop that gem? A 6th grade boys’ football team can do better than that.  The winners are usually just tacky, but that has to be as bad as it gets. Ugh!
