Booker winner gets the nod for ‘Bad Sex in Fiction’ award
The shortlist for the prize, created by Literary Review, features 10 works including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark’s novel The Legacy Of Elizabeth Pringle and Booker victor Richard Flanagan with The Narrow Road To The Deep North.
Organisers say the idea is to draw attention to “poorly written, perfunctory or redundant passages of sexual description in modern fiction, and to discourage them”.
