Well, he won it in literary form anyways. The rock legend earned the top prize for his debut novel, List of the Lost, which tells the story of a relay track team in Seventies Boston, whose members are cursed by a demon and killed off one-by-one. The judges were wowed by an "ecstatic scene" between one of the runners, Ezra, and his girlfriend, Eliza.
Examples of Morrissey's riveting prose include, "Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation." Later that same sentence, the wordsmith described the tryst as a "dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation." He also employed such verbiage as "barrel-rolled," "bulbous salutation" and "whacked and smacked." The scintillating scene can be read on the Literary Review's website.
Um………………….wow. BUT at least was great live at the Fox Theatre in Visalia earlier in 2015.
Literary Review has handed out the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award since 1993 in an effort to "draw attention to poorly written, perfunctory or redundant passages of sexual description in modern fiction, and to discourage them." Pornographic and expressly erotic literature are not considered for the prize.
