But I’m curious about once you got to that point, what then led you to think “Oh, I want to write a book about this”?Īs I was discovering and grappling with my asexuality, I felt so supported by the ace community, but I felt like I couldn’t translate what I was learning from the ace community to my allo friends. Let’s start at the beginning: over the course of the book you actually tell the reader a lot about your sort of process that led you to identifying with asexuality. Here’s what she had to say in response to our questions: She is a member of the ace community and has spoken about asexuality at academic conferences and events including the 2019 NYC World Pride Ace & Aro Conference. Her reporting and criticism have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Atlantic, Guardian, Paris Review, Electric Literature, Catapult, and elsewhere. We were fortunate this week to have the pleasure of speaking to Angela Chen ( ) about her upcoming book, Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, which comes out September 15th.Īngela Chen is a journalist and writer in New York City. This interview was co-authored with Maddy.
