"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
30 November 2006The new erraticaYou know, it's probably a good thing that the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies guys never did any serious smut, or they might have come up with something like this:
... a commotion of grunts and squeaks, flashing unconnected images and explosions of a million little particles....
Duck amuck, indeed. But no, it's Iain Hollingshead, in his debut novel Twenty Something, which has won the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award presented by Britain's Literary Review. Said the judges:
Because Hollingshead is a first-time writer, we wished to discourage him from further attempts. Heavyweights like Thomas Pynchon and Will Self are beyond help at this point.

The commotion sounds familiar (remember in the other thread where I said "Don't ask"?), but I think if you're getting unconnected images and explosions, you're not doing it right.
