The results of the latest Bulwer-Lytton Contest for the worst opening sentence to a novel
are up. I like the winner in the historical fiction category:
In Southwestern Germany just east of the Luxemburg border and north of France where history pitted various related Hapsburg Royals against each other and the Archbishops of Trier, the Abbots of St. Maximin, various members of the nobility, and mobs of axe-bearing villagers, there stands a ruin whose building stones mostly were carted off to build other buildings.
