Nothing Wanting: Asexuality and the Matter of Absence
by KJ Cerankowski
Paperback – November 4, 2025
Advancing asexuality studies in daring, queer new directions, Nothing Wanting redefines what it means to live, think, and create beyond identity and beyond the human.
Through a series of striking cultural and philosophical meditations, KJ Cerankowski explores the generative potential of silence, stillness, and nothingness—what it means to make meaning out of what’s “not there.” Drawing inspiration from art, film, literature, and disability aesthetics, Cerankowski brings together threads from Border, Jenny Hval’s Paradise Rot, and Finnegan Shannon’s iconic accessibility artwork to reveal how the asexual imagination resists capitalist, colonial, and human-centered logics.
Formally experimental and richly interdisciplinary, Nothing Wanting plays with redaction, erasure, and repetition to show that absence can be a form of abundance. In embracing the paradox of “wanting nothing,” Cerankowski invites readers into a new world of presence in quietness—where the void itself hums with potential.
Perfect for readers of queer theory, gender studies, and critical poetics, Nothing Wanting stands as a landmark contribution to asexual scholarship and an invitation to see the beauty in the unseen.
