I'm not creeped out by Liz Hurley's raunchy photos – I'm just a little envious


So let me get this one straight. Any number of ‘influencers’, from Kim Kardashian to our own Maura Higgins, can strip down to their smalls (or less), post a photo of it, and be commended for ‘breaking the internet’ with their gestures of female empowerment.
And when Liz Hurley does it, she’s ‘thirsty’, ‘desperate’, ‘an outrage’, and, in the words of Piers Morgan, needs to “put her clothes back on”.
I’m not one to rely on Piers Morgan as a seat of wisdom or common sense, but several others seem to, and have echoed this weirdly paternalistic sentiment online.

All The Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks review: how one brave woman helped care for Aids patients in the 1980s


All The Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks review: how one brave woman helped care for Aids patients in the 1980s
Marcus Field
Ruth Coker Burks is visiting a friend in hospital when she hears a man calling for help from behind a door marked with a biohazard sign. “He’s got that gay disease,” a nurse tells her when she asks why nobody is answering the call. “They all die.”It’s 1986, and Burks is in Little Rock, the capital of the deeply conservative US state of Arkansas. She’s scared of catching Aids too, but she knows how it feels to be an outcast and a deeper instinct kicks in. She ends up sitting with Jimmy for 13 hours until he dies.

All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks review – an uplifting memoir


Last modified on Mon 8 Mar 2021 07.27 EST
In the spring of 1986, Ruth Coker Burks was in the medical centre in Little Rock, Arkansas, visiting a friend with cancer, when she noticed three nurses drawing straws to see which one would have to enter a patient’s room. Curious, she snuck down the corridor to take a look. The door was hung with a scarlet tarp and a biohazard sign. Food trays were piled on the floor outside, along with a cart of isolation suits and masks. Inside, she found an emaciated young man calling for his mother.
When Coker Burks challenged the nurses, one of them told her she was crazy to go in. “He’s got that gay disease,” she said. “They all die.” They refused to contact the patient’s mother, and so Coker Burks made the call from a payphone herself. “My son is already dead,” the woman told her. “My son died when he went gay.” Appalled, she went back to the room and sat with the young man, holding his hand until he died a few hours later. But when she told the nurses he was dead, they insisted that she was now responsible for the body. It took hours of phone calls before she found a funeral home willing to perform the cremation. As for the ashes, she buried them herself in a cookie jar at Files Cemetery in Hot Springs, where her family owned some land.

As I read
All the Young Men, Ruth Coker Burks’ memoir of inadvertently becoming central-west Arkansas’ one-woman AIDS services provider in the dark years of the mid-to-late ’80s and early-to-mid-’90s, I could only think of the PTSD she and her then-young daughter, Allison, who accompanied her on her care visits, would suffer later in life. And indeed, when I spoke on the phone shortly before Christmas with Burks and her cowriter, the talented

Books to look out for in 2021


Books to look out for in 2021
Irish fiction
New work that has been a long time coming generates a particular shiver of anticipation.
Small Things Like These (Faber, October) will be Claire Keegan’s first new work since her novella Foster, still a bestseller 10 years on. Her publisher says: “An exquisite wintery parable, Claire Keegan’s long-awaited return tells the story of a simple act of courage and tenderness, in the face of conformity, fear and judgment.”

A look ahead to the best new books in 2021: from Marcus Rashford to Bill Gates


Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera / Viking
Several authors tackle colonialism in very different ways, from
Alex Renton confronting his own family’s involvement in slavery in
Blood Legacy: Reckoning with a Family’s Enslaving Past (Canongate), and
Sathnam Sanghera in
Kehinde Andrews, who rather more controversially takes on capitalism and racism together in
The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World (Allen Lane).
Gender and Identity Politics
Likewise gender and identity politics get a good look-in, from 
Julie Bindel’s manifesto,
Feminism for Women (Constable) to 
You Are Not the Man You Are Supposed To Be: Into The Chaos of Modern Masculinity (Bloomsbury) by founder of the Book of Man website
