Pleasure Principles (Richard Christiansen)
About this episode
Elise Loehnen talks with Richard Christiansen about his new book and various topics related to beauty and pleasure.
Richard Christiansen is the founder of Flamingo Estate and a dear pal of mine. Today, we’re talking (in part) about the stories that led to his new book, Flamingo Estate Pleasure Principles. We get into: our love of witches, why Richard thinks we’re experiencing a crisis of beauty (and what he does about it), the concept of a victory garden, the unexpected provenance of things like the California naval orange, and his take on chasing pleasure.
