More Anal Sex in literature stuff…
What’s the trick to writing a sophisticated anal sex scene?
Killing Johnny Fry tells the story of a black man named Cordell, a milquetoast, strictly-missionary translator of marketing material in his forties who one day stumbles upon his longtime girlfriend getting reamed up the ass by a white man named Johnny Fry, who happens to have a giant penis. The trauma sends Cordell into a downward tailspin: he quits his job, takes up drinking, and plots the murder of Johnny Fry. The ensuing story is a gritty journey through a melange of insatiable sex—anal intrusion, double penetration, priapism, golden showers, etc. Cordell is after revenge, but he’s also in search of himself, and the only way he’s going to find himself is by fucking his way to enlightenment.
Put plainly, this is a filthy novel. Some of the sexual scenes are quite imaginative. Were any of them taken from your life?
Why yes, Mike, they were [laughs]. Look, every writer takes events from his life. You can’t escape that. In my life, I had these things happen, like finding out that a girlfriend was seeing someone else. I didn’t necessarily walk in on her getting anally violated by a large-cocked white man, but that’s fiction for you [laughs]. But if asked, I would say that 25 percent of the prose is more explicit than I’ve ever experienced.
What’s the trick to writing a sophisticated anal sex scene?
The same trick as writing any other kind of scene, I suppose. They combine research and draw from personal experience. Look, if you’re asking me, Have you ever had anal sex? then I will tell you, Yes, I have.
