Bad Sex in Fiction Awards 2007

Just came across this article on the BBC news site about said awards, and thought the passage I glimpsed too awful not to share. Having done so, I'm off to read/watch the nominations. (BBC news site has 4 non embeddable vids, and official site has others).

Context for those not inclined to click through without more enticement:

The winner of the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award for the most awkward description of an intimate encounter is to be announced later.

Now in its 14th year, the prize is awarded by Literary Review magazine in an attempt to discourage authors from writing such accounts.

It is given to the passage considered to be the most redundant in an otherwise excellent novel.
