Issue Two · July 2010
The Kill Your Darlings winter issue opens with Monica Dux’s ‘Temple of The Female Eunuch’, which is both a response to the recent additions to the ‘Parsnip School of Greer Criticism’ and a genuine reflection on the book’s impact both at the time of publication and now. Other commentary includes Benjamin Law on coming late to music, Michaela McGuire on being ‘a writer’ and Gideon Haigh on the state of Australian biography. We’ve got new fiction from Pierz Newton-John and Virginia Peters, to name just a couple, and we chat with novelist (and controversialist) Philip Pullman about his new book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.
