Primal Screams

My interview with the American essayist, novelist and cultural critic Mary Eberstadt

Who am I? What am I here for? These are fundamental questions in life — and throughout human history, they’ve often been answered through relationships to kin.

But with the collapse of the family unit and the atomization of individuals, my guest on today’s program argues, we have become unmoored. And we are now experiencing a crisis in identity, “a psychic howl” that’s shaping our culture and politics in profound ways.
