Welcome to the Stacks, a podcast about books and the people who read them. I'm your host Tracy Thomas. Today we are talking about

sex on the stacks but not in the way you might think. Our guest is Angela

Chen, journalist and author of Ace, what sexuality reveals about desire, society, and the meaning of sex.

In the book, Angela sheds light on what it means to be asexual and the many intersections

that play into that sexual identity.

As a reminder, everything we discuss on today's show

can be found in the link in the show notes.
