Born a Crime – Trevor Noah

About the Book

Stories from a South African Childhood

Trevor Noah's unlikely journey from apartheid South Africa to The Daily Show began with a crime: his birth. Born to a white Swiss father and a Black Xhosa mother when their relationship was illegal, he spent much of his early childhood hidden from the authorities. The end of apartheid opened up a new world of freedom and possibility.

By turns hilarious, dramatic and deeply moving, these stories follow a mischievous boy growing up in a society where he was never supposed to exist. At their heart is his fearless, rebellious mother, determined to protect him from poverty, violence and abuse.

With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Noah captures the absurdities and dangers of his childhood, the search for belonging and the power of a mother's unconventional, unconditional love.
