Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with a Lacanian bent living in New York City. He is a returning guest and was on the opposite side of Zero Books panel/debate at this year’s Left Forum. In this episode we almost discuss Avital Ronnell, postmodernism, and Lacan.

We’ve started a Zero Books reading group for our patrons. It runs $15 a month on Patreon and the first book on our list is Anselm Jappe’s The Writing on the Wall. Support us on Patreon and join in reading Jappe’s book and participate in an online discussion. All of our supporters get access to the Symptomatic Redness and Alternatives podcasts, and patrons who donate five dollars a month or higher get access to Inside Zero Books podcast as well, which means they get access to a second podcast every week. Patreon supporters are helping us continue to produce our youtube channel and other online projects like our online Capital reading group which is schedule for this coming Saturday at 9am Pacific.
