The Kill Your Darlings January 2011 issue opens with Emily Maguire's 'The Invisible Women: Carers in Australian Families', in which she records three women's experiences caring for ill and disabled family members. Other commentary includes Caroline Hamilton on Jonathan Franzen and his cultural ambivalence, an extract from Olivia Guntarik's memoir-in-progress and Luke Ryan on the death of boredom. We've got new fiction from Peggy Frew, Michael Sala and Louise Swinn, and we chat with Salley Vickers about her latest book, Aphrodite's Hat.
