The literary award no author ever wants to receive has been announced yet again. This year’s honoree for Bad Sex In Fiction is Iain Hollingshead, who is appropriately chastened by the dubious honor. “Writing about sex is rather more technical, and less fun, than doing it. Either you descend into flowery metaphor or you indulge in the ‘naming of parts’. Both are more likely to be laughable than erotic… I blush to read my offending prose now.”
