Hence the notion of a happy, gentle, jubilant asexuality is never to be found in any text. Where are we to read it, then?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this revelatory book, critically acclaimed poet Ryan Fitzpatrick works through the ways in which they have interfaced with a sexual world as an asexual person. Often defined as the orientation of those who don't experience sexual attraction, asexuality is tied to a shared logic wherein our lives are shaped by sex, by romance, by economic and social pressures that determine what a good life looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaping from the eureka-moment of finding the right words to name an unnameable experience, \u003ci\u003eAce Theory\u003c\/i\u003e upends rigid definitions by turning over the pieces of a supposedly broken life. Through intellectual analysis, cultural criticism, and personal reflection, Fitzpatrick tangles with the trenchant knot of compulsory sexuality, putting a squeeze on the many pressures that make asexual people feel like they simply don't fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Fitzpatrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book*hug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.91h x 5.21w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771669900","brand":"Book*hug Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48950067069065,"sku":"9781771669900","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f25b3785-52df-47db-b551-04421dd953fa.jpg?v=1794300121","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/ace-theory-an-essay-in-fragments-about-asexuality-9781771669900","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
