And the Winner Is ...

No this isn't Sean Penn. This is American author Jonathan Littell. I admit I'm unfamiliar with his work, but I was thrilled for him when I read he is this year's winner of Britain's Bad Sex in Fiction Prize.

In his book "The Kindly Ones," a 900 page tome, he likens a sexual encounter with a one-eyed mythological beast. Would that be the One-Eyed Trouser Snake?

Actually, no. It's female genitalia that he compares to Cyclops whose one eye never blinks.

His editor accepted the award for him, but Littell had no comment. I'm thinking anyone who thinks a va-jay-jay is a mythological beast had better keep his mouth shut.
