Guterson wins dreaded Bad Sex in Fiction literary award
Guterson won the 2011 âprizeâ for sex scenes in his new novel âEd Kingâ, which offers a modern take on the Oedipus myth and sets it in the second half of the 20th century.
The acclaimed author of âSnow Falling on Cedarsâ took the tongue-in-cheek honour in his stride: âOedipus practically invented bad sex, so Iâm not in the least bit surprised,â Guterson said in response to his victory.
