My new book Ace Theory arrived on my doorstep yesterday, just starting to make its way into the world. It’s a book-length essay in fragments about asexuality and compulsory sexuality. I hope you’ll give it a look.

New from Model Press: a Covid-era interview with small-press superstar @robmclennan.bsky.social about his work and literary life during midcareer. It’s a hefty one, but hopefully worth your time. I hope you’ll check it out. ryanfitzpatrick.ca/wp-content/u...

I’m not much of a poster these days, but I’d be remiss to not share the cover for my fall nonfiction book Ace Theory:An Essay in Fragments About Asexuality, which has snuck it’s way onto the internet this week.

Book cover for Ace Theory: An Essay in Fragments About Asexuality by Ryan Fitzpatrick. The cover is minimalist. The title and author name are in the background, muted, and the subtitle runs in a vertical column lightly overlapping the title.
