Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《我的帅气名字》是一本有关于安东尼欢乐童年时光的故事汇编。故事的原型来自于塞克利本人作为古巴-爱尔兰-美国混血儿，成长在双语和双文化环境下的个人成长经历。全书编织了一个包含有18个难忘故事的合集，其中不仅有西班牙语言、古巴家庭传统和爱尔兰式幽默，更是充满了幽默、启发、以及传统与家庭观念。通过一个个短篇小故事和一个个人物形象的缩影，塞克利为读者们介绍了他的家庭、传统民俗故事，以及他本人作为一名专业作家的成功经历。书中的故事个性鲜明，强烈的凸显出一个个来自作者家庭中的人物形象，尤其是他古巴一系的大家庭。这些略显疯狂的人物们在令你捧腹大笑的同时也能给你以阵阵触动。这些小故事所传达的不仅仅是双语和双文化的至关重要的影响，更是反应了作者创作本书的主旨，即有关于两种文化下的身份认同与家庭成员之间的紧密联系。
书中的小故事一经问世便受到了来自读者和全国评论界的热烈反响，塞克利由其自身经历出发，为广大读者呈现出一个个有趣而难忘的美好故事。（DC）
