Congratulations to Iain Hollingshead for being the youngest winner ever of the Literary Review's Bad Sex Award! Take that, Tom Willocks, Will Self and Thomas Pynchon! The judges said that Iain's phrase "bulging trousers" put him over the top in a very close race. "I hope to win it every year," said an honored and thrilled Hollingshead. What's better? Iain will receive the award from Courtney Love! How cool is that?
"Now in its 14th year, the award is given to the passage considered to be the most redundant in an otherwise excellent novel."
"'Bulging trousers' indeed!" cheered Overlook Press Publisher Peter Mayer upon hearing the news. "We're bulging with pride at the stand-out quality of our author's libidinal literary efforts. Every part of our international publishing family is standing up and saluting young Iain." Champagne is popping throughout our offices! Cheers, Iain!
