Critical Linking, a daily roundup of the most interesting bookish links from around the web is sponsored by Flatiron Books.
“The Bad Sex in Fiction Award has been given to two writers for the first time.
John Harvey, a life fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and French author Didier Decoin have both been announced as winners of the Literary Review‘s tongue-in-cheek prize.
The judges were swayed by steamy passages in Decoin’s book The Office Of Gardens And Ponds, as well as some in Harvey’s book, Pax.
They said in a statement: ‘We tried voting, but it didn’t work. We tried again.
‘Ultimately there was no separating the winners.’”
There are no winners in the bad sex awards.
“If you have a lover of all things comedic, satirical and silly on your holiday shopping list this year, check out this collection of 14 books.”
Gift some laughter.
