3 h. ago Alive by Gabriel Weston review – a revelatory study of the body

A doctor draws on science, history, art and her own experiences to help us see human anatomy anewUntil the early 17th century, scientists believed that the heart operated a bit like a lamp, warming blood that had been produced by the liver. In 1616, when the English physician William Harvey corrected this misconception and explained how the heart works, the audience at the Royal College of Physicians booed him. Why did it take so long for scientists to understand the heart’s real function? One possibility is that until the invention of mechanical pumps in the late 16th century, doctors lacked the metaphorical language to describe what the heart does.“The truth of the body is as much about storytelling as it is about anatomy,” the writer and surgeon Gabriel Weston argues in Alive, an unusual and gripping book that she describes as an “ecumenical exploration” of her subject. An English graduate, in her early 20s Weston enrolled in a pioneering medical degree programme designed to enco...

5 h. ago Twiggy review – breezy telling of sunny star’s landmark career

Sadie Frost’s documentary follows the working-class Londoner taking bad luck in her stride as she progresses from fashion to film stardom and back againThis feelgood film directed by Sadie Frost is about the 60s fashion icon Twiggy; originally Lesley Hornby from Neasden in London, latterly Lesley Lawson after her marriage to actor Leigh Lawson, and then Dame Lesley Lawson with her DBE in 2019. (That is how she was gazetted, at all events, although Dame Twiggy has a ring to it.) With comments from A-listers including Edward Enninful and Suzy Menkes, it tells us the story of a working-class heroine with an almost eerily beautiful gamine face who became a fashion legend with a pop-star status that eluded earlier figures such as Jean Shrimpton, though without the smouldering attitude of the supermodel generation that came later.Twiggy made a glorious success of her life, and never conformed to any tragic narrative about how triumph in the ephemeral world of fashion and fame must surely ...

7 h. ago In search of the South Pacific fugitive who crowned himself king

Noah Musingku made a fortune with a Ponzi scheme and then retreated to a remote armed compound in the jungle, where he still commands the loyalty of his Bougainville subjectsOne autumn morning, I boarded a plane from Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, to Buka, the capital of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. A collection of islands and atolls the size of Puerto Rico, Bougainville is located 600 miles east of Moresby, across the Solomon Sea. Its southern shore is just three miles from the politically independent Solomon Islands, and its people share a culture, linguistic links and dark skin tone with their Solomon neighbours. But thanks mostly to European colonisers, who drew the borders, Bougainville is the farthest-flung province of Papua New Guinea, whose lighter-toned inhabitants Bougainvilleans often call “redskins”, betraying a sense of otherness in their own country that partly explains why I am writing about them here.I say partly because if not for the islan...
