Asking for It, Lilah Pace (PDF 21): A Column
Lilah Pace’s Asking for It is a work that thrives on contradiction: it’s erotic and forensic, intimate and combative, obsessed with desire while interrogating who gets punished for it. Chapter 21—where the protagonists’ private arrangements are laid bare in a counseling session—serves as a revealing hinge in the novel, and reading that chapter (or the PDF excerpt commonly labeled “21”) clarifies why Pace’s book continues to polarize readers.
