Our guest for this episode is Ben Etherington, author of Literary Primitivism and the long-form essay The New Primitives, published in the Los Angeles Review of Books, the themes of which we discuss in this episode. In this discussion, Ben lays out a nuanced examination of Primitivism, a “mode of aesthetic idealization that either emulates or aspires to recreate ‘primitive’ experience.”
