English Summary/英文概要： Julie Booker gives us a collection of nineteen bite sized, hilarious, off-kilter stories about love, sex, friendships, travel, and insatiable hunger. Her deceptively simple storylines are handled with intelligence and a light sinisterness that make them entirely satisfying. They are taught, compassionate and true.

A pair of plus-sized friends make tracks for a kayaking trip in Alaska. A woman vacations with her parents at a Texas trailer park, wondering why she cant meet a man. A worldly member of a tour group selects sacrifices from among the most cherished belongings of her fellow travellers. A young man dreams of rescuing an abusive friends girlfriend and of having her for himself.

Having already been identified by the Writer’s Union of Canada as an up and coming talent, winning the Short Pose Competition in 2009, Booker reminds us of the power of words to enlighten and move us but most of all, to delight us. Her writing is a revelation wildly whimsical and yet razor-sharp, highly unusual and yet prompting gasps of recognition on every page.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Julie Booker描述了19个短小、滑稽和失衡的故事，这些故事是关于爱、性、友谊、旅行和永不满足的欲望。看似简单的故事情节贯穿着智慧和邪恶的较量，因此彻底地迷倒了读者。它们是讲授式的，富于同情心的和真实的故事。两个朋友开始阿拉斯加的独木舟之旅，一个和父母在德克萨斯拖车公园休假的女人，不知道自己为什么遇不见合适的男人，一个年轻男子梦想着从一个虐待狂的朋友手肘拯救出其女友并占有她。 Booker 已经被加拿大作家联盟封为后起之秀，他在2009年赢得Short Pose 竞赛。 Booker 提醒我们文字的力量，它可以启发人、鼓舞人，但最重要的是的使人愉悦。他的文笔古怪犀利，极不寻常且每一页都让人深思。(兼职翻译-CDD)

Awards/获奖情况：《向往光明》是个完美的标题：它是集合积极生活、幽默和惊喜的处女秀。在这些充满未卜命运的敏捷和闪耀的故事里，Booker从来没有停止描写黑暗事物的光明一面。Booker的四射的魅力在于她淳朴的表现形式：口语的对话形式，有缺点的角色不懈尝试，你几乎可以听到无穷的好奇心发出快乐的嗡嗡声。——嘉莉斯奈德

该作品以滑稽且犀利的文风，探索了超现代关系的深度。这里有污秽和脆弱的真相——男人和女人的闪电约会，佛教僧侣的贪食，但最重要的是心灵遭受周围人的撞击而依然挺立的能力。这部作品以爱恨情仇等强烈的感情故事为主线。
