BAD SEX


The 2012 Literary Review’s Bad Sex in Fiction award was given to the Canadian novelist, Nancy Huston, for her writing about sex in her novel, Infrared. The award’s judges were impressed with how bad she wrote about sex.

In her book, she wrote about "flesh, that archaic kingdom that brings forth tears and terrors, nightmares, babies and bedazzlements", and "my sex swimming in joy like a fish in water". She did not attend the ceremony held in Paris to collect her award.

The award judges controversially overlooked the two favourites. JK Rowling, in her book The Casual Vacancy, was not shortlisted because she was not bad enough. EL James’ Fifty Shades of Grey was not eligible for the award as pornographic and explicitly erotic novels are precluded from the competition.

In 2010, Tony Blair’s autobiography, A Journey, was nominated for the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. The former Prime Minister was nominated for a purple passage about the night spent with his wife Cherie following the news of the Labour leader John Smith's sudden death: "That night she cradled me in her arms and soothed me; told me what I needed to be told; strengthened me. On that night of 12 May 1994, I needed that love Cherie gave me, selfishly. I devoured it to give me strength. I was an animal following my instinct".

Tony Blair became the next Labour Party leader and Prime Minister. Alastair Campbell, the Press Secretary when Blair was Prime Minister, used to write soft porn for the sex advice magazine Forum, under the name The Riviera .

Previous winners of the Bad Sex in Fiction award include the Tom Wolfe, Sebastian Faulks, Norman Mailer and John Updike.

 Have you come across any bad erotic fiction?
have you looked around this site Most erotic fiction is pretty bad no matter what the venue

Do you like erotic fiction? If so, what are your favourite authors and books?
I wouldn't say I hate it or love it I just don't go out of my way to look for it. I *know* what I can kindle out of my imagination and if I'm in the mood for a turn on I'd rather go with something dependable than take a crap shoot with someone else's writing.

Do you write any erotic fiction?
Rarely and not for public consumption. A lady's got to maintain a bit of mystery.

Perhaps Affairlook should organise a Bad Sex award and, just to be fair, a Good Sex award for this site!

I knew Will Self's father quite well - they had a terrible father/son relationship.

Below is a cartoon on the Fifty Shades of Grey book harking back to the John Major/Edwina Currie affair:
