In reply to Lex. To sum it up: They CARE about their characters and usually take great care to imagine what would feel nice for both (or more,or less) parties involved and then craft carefully what is often a pivotal scene in their story. This list has me flabbergasted,too, because those are published male authors who don’t give a lot of thought and zero care to the other half of their couplings. I mean..Haruki Murakami’s (he’s wildly popular in Germany) excerpt is using cheap hyperbole with a woman who is asleep. How is that even ok? And the rest...I’m pretty sure the guy with the enameled pepper grinder patted himself congratulatory on his back for his originality.
