El canto del niño de las ocho jorobas (Aṣṭāvakragītā) es un texto perteneciente a la escuela Advaita vedānta, una de las más conocidas formas de pensamiento no-dualistas de la India. La obra presenta el diálogo entre el rey Janaka y Aṣṭāvakra (del sánscrito aṣṭa ocho; y vakra deformidades, malformaciones, jorobas;), un niño deforme que llega a su corte y sorprende a todos con su sabiduría. El texto es sencillo pero demoledor, pues de forma sistemática, en no más de 300 versos, procede a invalidar todos los caminos, ortodoxos y heterodoxos, que la tradición india ha señalado hacia la trascendencia. No hay práctica o escuela de pensamiento que no resulte refutada por la verdad simple que Aṣṭāvakra enarbola: no hay camino hacia la liberación, la liberación ya es -y siempre ha sido-, nuestro estado natural. Lo único que hace falta es tomar conciencia de ello.

A mysterious young African turns up abandoned at the Vancouver airport. He speaks no English, but would he tell his whole story even if he could? An enthusiastic young woman throws herself into working for a cause. But whose cause is it that she’s actually working for? Her “boyfriend” finds a growing connection happening with her sister. Wendy Phillips again uses multiple voices and points of view to present a fraught situation from multiple angles, to allow a more complete picture to emerge. Using this technique she delves into the murky world of third world refugees and human trafficking. And the way young Canadian people respond to so foreign, literally, a situation. The concerns and preoccupations of Canadian teens are thrown into sharp relief in the glare of the truly dire circumstances of people from elsewhere in the world. With her keen eye for the emotional lives of teenagers, Wendy Phillips keeps us on the edge of our seats as secrets are revealed, alliances shift, true characters emerge under stress, and everyone has to find a way to cope with their baggage.
