On this episode of Rendering Unconscious, I speak with Jason Haaf, a writer living in Brooklyn, New York.  His non-fiction writing centers on memory, childhood, relationships and identity. Love Case, his debut novel, is a diary-esque series of short stories focused on sexuality, and the growth and experience that comes from repression.  His short story “A Wilderness” is featured in Issue 7 of Hello Mr. Magazine, and he has contributed Love Cases to the upcoming issue of Warm Brothers Magazine

Jason Haaf contributed poetry to the anthology Rendering Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, Politics and Poetry (Trapart Books, 2019).

The zine Jason refers to is Doable Guys by Kyle Anderson and Lena Green.
