Quando usciva dal Cinema Mirone, quel tornado di ragazzina si sentiva Jean Gabin dalla testa ai piedi. Ribelle, appassionata, braccata come lui, con una sigaretta immaginaria all'angolo delle labbra, Goliarda girava per la casbah di Catania come Jean per quella di Algeri. Poi se ne tornava a casa, dalla sua grande famiglia irregolare, resistente, chiassosa come una nave in festa. Io, Jean Gabin racconta tutto questo raccontando un pugno di giorni. È un tassello di quella che Goliarda Sapienza chiamava "autobiografia delle contraddizioni".

In the early 17th century, a crippled, graying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a novel. It was the story of a poor nobleman, his brain addled from studying too many novels of chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off on hilarious adventures. That story, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside the Bible, making its author, Miguel de Cervantes, the single most-read author in human history.

Xiaolu Guo has traveled further than most to become who she needed to be. Now, as she experiences the birth of her daughter in a London maternity ward surrounded by women from all over the world, she looks back on that journey. It begins in the fishing village shack on the East China Sea where her illiterate grandparents raised her, and brings her to a rapidly changing Beijing, full of contradictions: a thriving underground art scene amid mass censorship, curious Westerners who held out affection only to disappear back home.
