Da più di dieci anni la rivista britannica “Literary Review” assegna il premio, comprensibilmente poco ambito, “Bad Sex In Fiction Award” premiando l’autore di romanzi che ha realizzato la peggiore descrizione di una scena di sesso.
Quest’anno vince, a quanto pare a mani basse, proprio il Moz e la scena di sesso che coinvolge Ezra e la sua ragazza Eliza, protagonisti del romanzo dell’ex Smiths “List Of The Lost”.
Questo il passaggio, estratto dal libro, che decreta la vittoria di Morrissey:
At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.
Hot stuff! Other candidates on the shortlist included George Pelecanos’ The Martini Shot (“I rubbed myself against her until she was wet as a waterslide”), Joshua Cohen’s Book Of Numbers (“her breasts were like young fawns, sheep frolicking in hyssop”), and Richard Bausch’s Before, During, After (“When she took him, still a little flaccid, into her mouth, he moaned, “‘Oh, lover'”).
