LITERARY COLLECTIONS / General

From the chalky horse-pills of faceless pharmaceutical conglomerates to the hot toddy that was Grandmother's remedy for bruised knees, broken hearts and everything besides - here are stories about the ways we face our ailments and the ways we seek to cure ourselves. Rose Tremain contributes an extract from her highly anticipated new novel; Alice Munro writes a haunting, beautiful memoir about a strange phase in her childhood; Gish Jen tells a story about two brothers who fix up a house - but can't quite fix up the ageing parents who will live in it. The issue includes new poetry by Ben Lerner and Angela Carter, as well as non-fiction pieces by Chris Adrian, Richard Ford and a highly regarded writer who breaks her silence about living with MS.

John Freeman's criticism has appeared in more than two hundred newspapers around the world, including the Guardian, the Independent, The Times and the Wall Street Journal. His first book, The Tyranny of E-Mail, is published by Scribner in the US and Text in Australia.
