Die moeilikste tema om oor te skryf: SEKS

Seks is 'n tema waarmee so baie skrywers kleitrap dat die Literary Review tydskrif elke jaar 'n toekenning gee vir SWAK SEKS in nie-erotiese literatuur. Die seremonie vind hierdie jaar op 6 Desember plaas en die twaalf blosende kandidate sluit in: Stephen King, Haruki Murakami, James Frey en Lee Child. 

Stephen King:

She was wearing jeans. The fabric whispered under my palm. She leaned back and her head bonked on the door. 'Ouch!' I said. 'Are you alright?' 

David Guterson:

In the shower, Ed stood with his hands at the back of his head, like someone just arrested, while she abused him with a bar of soap.

Haruki Murakami:

 

Her breasts seemed to be virtually uninfluenced by the force of gravity, the nipples turned beautifully upward, like a vine's new tendrils seeking sunlight.

Lee Child:

Faster, harder, faster, harder. The room began to shake. Just faintly at first, like a mild constant tremor, like the edge of a far distant earthquake. The French door trembled in its frame. A glass rattled on the bathroom shelf. The floor quivered. The hall door creaked and shuttered. My shoes hopped and moved. The bedhead hammered against the wall. The floor shook hard. The walls boomed. Coins in my abandoned pocket tinkled.
