As Long as She Doesn’t Forget Where She Came From

And speaking of awesome Elissas being published around the web…

Our own Elissa Bassist has been having a rollicking good time over at TheRumpus.net, “an online magazine focused on culture with some politics.”

In her interview with Michael Showalter, the brilliant Bassist poses such questions as “How do you feel about grammar?” and “You co-wrote Wet Hot American Summer with David Wain. Is writing like sex in that it’s better with another person?”

And in A Baker’s Dozen of My Feelings About David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, our heroine overcomes her feeling that “I’m not a person who is a good enough person to write about David Foster Wallace.” And does a darn good job of doing just that.
