Wendy Perriam has won “one of the least coveted prizes in literature” – the Bad Sex in Fiction Award, awarded by the Literary Review. The prize is for the worst literary description of sex in a novel, and some of the literary world’s best-known authors have been nominated. “Robert Posner of the Literary Review said Perriam’s book stood out from the rest because ‘they had never before heard of pin-striped genitalia’, although he admitted the committee of judges were confused as to what it actually meant.”
