Bad Literary Sex

From AP:

John Updike has been awarded a lifetime achievement prize of bad depictions of sex in his novels, although his entry this year, The Widows of Eastwick, did not win.

Updike, who has a long and graphic history of detailing coupling on the page, won a lifetime achievement award Tuesday from judges of Britain's Bad Sex in Fiction Prize, which celebrates crude, tasteless or ridiculous sexual passages in modern literature.

The judges, editors of Literary Review magazine, said Updike had been shortlisted for the prize four times in its 16-year history.
