Japanese writer Haruki Murakami has been nominated for the Worst Sex Literature Award, presented annually by the British magazine Literary Review. Fragments of the candidate texts were published by The Guardian newspaper.
The prize is nominated for a paragraph from his latest novel, The Assassination of the Commander. In Russian, this book, written in Japanese, has not yet been published; Here is the English translation of this paragraph:
Carefully! It's really not very pleasant to read. Instead, you can watch a fan remake of Shrek .
“My ejaculation was violent and repeated. Again and again the seed poured out of me, filling her vagina and making the sheets sticky. I couldn't stop. I was afraid that if this continued, there would be nothing left in me. Yuzu had been sleeping deeply all this time, without making a sound, not even her breathing could be heard. But her genitals wrapped around mine and wouldn't let go. As if they had their own unshakable will and decided to squeeze every last drop out of my body.
In addition to Murakami, seven other writers have been nominated for the award; there are no women among them. The winner will be announced on December 3rd.
Murakami has already been nominated for an award for the worst description of sex - earlier the magazine's attention was drawn to the descriptions of sex in his novels "1Q84 (A Thousand Wives Eighty-Four)" and "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and the years of his wanderings" .
