Bad Sex in Fiction Award

Literary Review is known for its annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award. Each year since 1993, Literary Review has presented the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award to the author who produces the worst description of a sex scene in a novel. The award is in the form of a "semi-abstract trophy representing sex in the 1950s",[2] which depicts a naked woman draped over an open book. The award was established by Rhoda Koenig, a literary critic, and Auberon Waugh, then the magazine's editor.

The award is "to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it".[2]

A compendium of all the award winners, along with extracts of each winning story, has been compiled by creative magazine, Nothing in the Rulebook, and is available online.[3] The Guardian has also been keeping track of the Bad Sex in Fiction Award since 1999.[4]

The 2016 shortlisted entries for the award were published in November 2016. The shortlist featured six authors: Janet Ellis, Tom Connolly, Ethan Canin, Robert Seethaler, Gayle Forman, and Erri De Luca. The nominated extracts for which the authors were nominated were published online.[5]
