Literary Review’s Bad Sex Award 2013
The purpose of the Literary Review’s Bad Sex Award is to draw attention to the crude, badly written, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it.
Bad sex doesn’t automatically mean bad reviews. Read the roundups here:
