Nick Cave Up For “Bad Sex” Award…
Nick Cave only writes about bad sex.
Nick Cave’s second novel, The Death Of Bunny Munroe, has been shortlisted for the annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award. The book details the sexual exploits of a traveling salesman named Bunny. One of my favorite authors of all time, Irvine Welsh, had this to say about Cave’s Bunny:
Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave’s trademark horror and humanity, often thinly disguised in a galloping, playful romp.
A representative for Cave issued a statement following the announcement saying that Cave would have been disappointed “not to have made the short list”.
