Wolfe Wins Bad Sex Award

Tom Wolfe’s new book wins a prize… but not exactly a good one. The Literary Review gave Wolfe its annual Bad Sex award Monday for his best-selling novel I Am Charlotte Simmons. Judges said the book’s sex scenes were ‘ghastly … inept ..(and) unrealistic.’ The nearly 700-page novel is set at fictional Dupont University in Pennsylvania, chronicling the bright, naive Charlotte Simmons’ entry into a hedonistic world filled with heavy drinking and casual sex.”
