First-time author Iain Hollingshead scooped a dubious literary honor in London on Wednesday, winning the Bad Sex in Fiction Award for his novel, "Twenty Something."
Hollingshead beat established writers including Booker Prize nominee David Mitchell, bestseller Mark Haddon and literary maverick Thomas Pynchon to the 14-year-old prize, which aims to skewer "the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel."
