About this audiobook
Harlem's simmering streets become the backdrop for a volatile encounter in The Primitive, a searing novel by Chester Himes. Jesse, a Black ex-con seeking a fresh start, collides with Kriss, a disillusioned white socialite. Their whirlwind weekend, fueled by alcohol and unspoken tensions, ignites a firestorm of passion and resentment. As their fling spirals, they grapple with the brutal realities of racism in America, their own internal demons, and the dangerous consequences of unchecked desires. Love and hate become dangerously intertwined in this explosive exploration of a doomed relationship, pushing boundaries and leaving you breathless.

Is this a joke? Bought this because I love Chester Himes. My son said this book is fantastic. This audiobook is just a joke. It's read by someone who can barely read, let alone narrate an audiobook. you can barely tell what they're saying, let alone follow the story. I'm gonna read the book instead. where do I get a refund?
