Muraka has some of the best fiction on women and asexuality. Earthlings and Convenience Store Woman as well. I think she does it blunt and fascinating job of representing the type of social masking performed by asexual women. It intersect with neurodiversity, I think, but I would definitely describe this masking as something unique.
Thank you! I've ordered Portalmania from my local bookshop, and Debbie Urbanski's list of other ace reads is a treasure trove!
As an occasional fiction writer myself, I've struggled to represent asexuality in a real-world, non-science-fictiony context, as more than a mere absence. I'm looking forward to reading some good examples of how it's done.

I’ll have to check out more of her stuff!
So so so glad to hear about this new collection, I'm adding it to the top of my reading list!
I really thought it was fantastic. I hope you like it too!

It's a weird and wonderful book of stories, and I'm about to write a grateful fan letter to the author.
The comic book Sex Criminals (not really what it sounds like) has an issue focusing on an Ace character.
