#289: Alissa Bennett

Alissa Bennett on Fucking with Injections, Cemeteries, Edith Wharton, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Alissa Bennett to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Alissa Bennett is a New York City-based writer and legendary zine maker, and she co-hosts “The C-Word” podcast with Lena Dunham. She’s been mentioned on this newsletter by Zach, Ivy, and Lena, which probably makes her the most recommended person to also be a guest 🏆, iconic. Alissa recently wrote the foreword for McNally Edition’s forthcoming reprint of Ursula Parrott’s 1929 novel Ex-Wife, which she says is “for real for real not to miss”. Bennet also has a great Instagram (@regret_counter) that she calls “The Museum of Bad Behavior” and it’s full of regret lists from anonymous submitters’ last hard night out. Lucky for us, Alissa is here to tell us what she’s been into.
