A blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir that explores what it means to be asexual in a world that centers sexual attraction. Drawing on interviews with nearly 100 aces from diverse backgrounds, the book examines how asexuality intersects with gender, race, disability, and relationships while challenging common misconceptions about the “A” in LGBTQIA. Named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR and Electric Literature, it invites all readers to rethink societal assumptions about desire, pleasure, and intimacy.
