OT: Author Wolfe wins 'bad sex' prize |
Author Wolfe wins 'bad sex' prize
US author Tom Wolfe has been given the Bad Sex in Fiction Award for
awkward descriptions of intimate encounters in his novel I am
Charlotte Simmons.
Wolfe, 74, whose Bonfire of the Vanities epitomised 1980s power and
excess, was nominated for three passages in his latest publication.
One included the line: "...moan moan moan moan moan..."
The prize is awarded each year for "crude, tasteless" sexual
depictions in published literature.
It is awarded by Literary Review magazine in an attempt to discourage
authors from writing such accounts.
In I am Charlotte Simmons, Wolfe steps into the shoes of a young,
sheltered female student getting to grips with sex and hedonism on
campus.
One of his winning passages is:
Slither slither slither slither went the tongue, but the hand that was
what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire
terrain of her torso to explore and not just the
otorhinolaryngological caverns.
Oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast
joins the pectoral sheath of the chest no, the hand was cupping her
entire right - Now! She must say 'No, Hoyt' and talk to him like a
dog...
I am Charlotte Simmons is the 14th book from Wolfe, who came to the
fore in the 1960s with journalism accounts such as The Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline
Baby.
Will Self, Julian Fellowes, Andre Brink and Wendy Perriam were among
those nominated for the award this year.
Perriam has now been nominated four times and won in 2002. AA Gill,
Sebastian Faulks and Melvyn Bragg are among the other winners in the
award's 12-year history.

Oh my fucking God. Somebody should shoot Wolfe and put him out of his
misery. "otorhinolaryngological caverns"?!
And that's just what he did with kissing. Presumably when we
get to what is technically termed "fucking", his prose will barf
a dog off a gut wagon.
As we used to say in Ohio.

a dog off a gut wagon.
As we used to say in Ohio.
I don't remember that one. Here in my corner of the Buckeye State, the
phrase was 'gag a maggot on a gut wagon.' <G>
In the Texas panhandle it was "knock a pit bull off a meat wagon." I'm
sure
the variations are endless. . .I'll try to think of some new ones.
The one I heard was, "knock a buzzard off a ***** wagon", as in,
"Your breath could knock a buzzard of a ***** wagon.

Author Wolfe wins 'bad sex' prize
US author Tom Wolfe has been given the Bad Sex in Fiction Award for
awkward descriptions of intimate encounters in his novel I am
Charlotte Simmons.
Wolfe, 74, whose Bonfire of the Vanities epitomised 1980s power and
excess, was nominated for three passages in his latest publication.
One included the line: "...moan moan moan moan moan..."
The prize is awarded each year for "crude, tasteless" sexual
depictions in published literature.
It is awarded by Literary Review magazine in an attempt to discourage
authors from writing such accounts.
In I am Charlotte Simmons, Wolfe steps into the shoes of a young,
sheltered female student getting to grips with sex and hedonism on
campus.
One of his winning passages is:
Slither slither slither slither went the tongue, but the hand that was
what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire
terrain of her torso to explore and not just the
otorhinolaryngological caverns.
Oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast
joins the pectoral sheath of the chest no, the hand was cupping her
entire right - Now! She must say 'No, Hoyt' and talk to him like a
dog...
I am Charlotte Simmons is the 14th book from Wolfe, who came to the
fore in the 1960s with journalism accounts such as The Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline
Baby.
Will Self, Julian Fellowes, Andre Brink and Wendy Perriam were among
those nominated for the award this year.
Perriam has now been nominated four times and won in 2002. AA Gill,
Sebastian Faulks and Melvyn Bragg are among the other winners in the
award's 12-year history.

Oh my fucking God. Somebody should shoot Wolfe and put him out of his
misery. "otorhinolaryngological caverns"?!
And that's just what he did with kissing. Presumably when we
get to what is technically termed "fucking", his prose will barf
a dog off a gut wagon.
As we used to say in Ohio.

The book was about Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters (as well as
