Ironic scene isn't bad sex

» Cultural

Tom Wolfe’s response to his winning of the Literary Review’s Bed Sex award for a passage in I Am Charlotte Simmons.

“There’s an old saying - ‘You can lead a whore to culture but you can’t make her sing’,” he told Reuters. “In this case, you can lead an English literary wannabe to irony but you can’t make him get it.”

Bad sex was just good irony, says Wolfe

The “old saying” was by Dorothy Parker: “You can lead a whore to culture, but you can’t make her think.”

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Ironic scene isn't bad sex. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
