Guterson wins dreaded Bad Sex in Fiction literary award
Guterson won the 2011 “prize” for sex scenes in his new novel “Ed King”, which offers a modern take on the Oedipus myth and sets it in the second half of the 20th century.
The acclaimed author of “Snow Falling on Cedars” took the tongue-in-cheek honour in his stride: “Oedipus practically invented bad sex, so I’m not in the least bit surprised,” Guterson said in response to his victory.
