Wolfe’s writing gets Bad Sex prize

It’s the literary award no author wants to win, and this year it’s gone to Tom Wolfe.

London’s Literary Review gave Wolfe its annual Bad Sex award Monday for his bestselling novel “I Am Charlotte Simmons.”

Judges said the book’s sex scenes were “ghastly ... inept ... [and] unrealistic.”

The nearly 700-page novel is set at fictional Dupont University in Pennsylvania, chronicling the bright, naive Charlotte Simmons’ entry into a hedonistic world filled with heavy drinking and casual sex.

The Bad Sex prize, in its 12th year, is intended to “draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel,” its judges say.
