Esiste un'appartenenza geografica e culturale, ma esiste anche un'appartenenza del cuore. Yao Xiao, artista cinese trapiantata a New York, racconta di entrambe attraverso la giovane protagonista queer e immigrante di questo libro prezioso, conducendo il lettore nei labirinti della scoperta di sé verso un nuovo, e solo proprio, modo di esistere, al di là di confini geografici e di genere. "Ogni cosa è bellissima, e io non ho paura" è un'opera autobiografica sulla personale ricerca di un'appartenenza più vera e profonda, e di un amore che superi le barriere della paura di affidarsi e rivelarsi davvero.
