The winner of the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award
November 27th, 2007
Late author Norman Mailer has been announced as the winner of the Bad Sex in Fiction Award for the most awkward description of an intimate encounter.
The US writer, who died earlier this year at the age of 84, won for his novel The Castle in the Forest.
His mouth lathered with her sap, he turned around and embraced her face with all the passion of his own lips and face, ready at last to grind into her with the Hound, drive it into her piety.

Now in its 14th year, the prize is awarded by Literary Review magazine in an attempt to discourage authors from writing such accounts.
It is given to the passage considered to be the most redundant in an otherwise excellent novel.
Jeanette Winterston and Harry Potter actor David Thewlis were also among those in the running for crude and tasteless literary depictions of sex.

Wooly breasts off the lobby
November 9th, 2007
Diana Kingsley's work Blue Ribbon was recently removed from a curated show in a building at 55 5th Avenue in NYC (at 13th Street).
Why? The building on 5th has a medical office where women come to get mammograms. According to Kingsley, the curator told her that a complaint had been made because someone felt it was inappropriate to see full breasts on display--in a sweater!--in a place where women were possibly getting bad news about cancer.
