Austin is a member of our A Thousand Plateaus reading group and a friend of the podcast. He is also a doctor who performs hospital autopsies and cancer diagnoses. Together, we revisit our recent reading of the plateau, "How Do You Make Yourself a Body Without Organs?". As we explicate various aspects of the concept, Austin offers an account of his experience in forensic medicine and beyond connects with the text.

At the end Craig asks me what I have learned from performing autopsy and handling cancer. I feel like I fumbled the answer a bit, and so: Esprit de l'escalier: life, which includes death, and all the incomplete constituent strata of being are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing...unless we have the will to make meaning from it. The body without organs is a point of departure we are always returning to, and is the point where meaning becomes possible.
