Morrissey Wins Bad Sex in Fiction Award
Y'all take notes now.
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."
