Paul Merrill defends lads' mags
25 Jun 2013
Paul Merrill has given a robust defence of lads’ mags, while promoting his new book A Polar Bear Ate My Head.
“Speaking from Sydney, [Paul] remains a passionate defender of lads’ mags and was angered last month to see a group of lawyers warning that shops selling titles such as Zoo, Nuts and Loaded could be sued by employees not comfortable with handling them.
‘I think it is one of the most ludicrous and ridiculous things I’ve ever heard of,” he says. “I think it’s absolutely criminal if it goes through. To say it is sexual discrimination for a Tesco worker to handle a magazine like Zoo is ludicrous. Where does it stop?’”

Gladstone's Library announces Writers-in-Residence Scheme 2014
24 Jun 2013
Now in its third year, the Writers-in-Residence scheme at Gladstone’s Library is going from strength to strength. Following the tremendous success of the last two years, the Library is looking for four writers to take up residence in 2014, following in the footsteps of the 2013 winners: Sarah Perry, Richard Beard, Peter Jukes, Vanessa Gebbie, Katrina Naomi and Angela Topping. Built in 1902 to house the library of pioneering politican and celebrated Prime Minister William E. Gladstone, the Library has twenty-six boutique-style rooms and is the UK’s only residential library. “We are committed to maintaining Gladstone’s legacy of engagement with social, moral and spiritual questions by helping people reflect more deeply on the questions that concern them,” says Peter Francis, Warden of the Library. “This scheme is an extension of that mission.”
Each of the four winning writers will stay at the Library for a month, enjoying full access to the Library’s rich resources and soaking up its wonderfully creative atmosphere. Each writer will keep a blog about their stay, run a creative writing workshop and an ‘Evening With’ event. They will receive full board and lodging, travel expenses and a stipend of £100.00 per week.
