Overview
“We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.”
Winner of an NAACP Image Award and the Thurber Prize for American Humor, Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime is simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious – most importantly, it’s ruthlessly honest.
Born in the era of apartheid to a black mother and white father, with such relationships criminalized, Trevor Noah’s very existence was controversial.
Coming-of-age during tumultuous times, this autobiographical comedy seamlessly blends personal and cultural tragedies with the ups and down of forming a unique identity as a mixed child amidst upheaval and unrest that feels larger than life itself.
With over one million copies sold, the charismatic Daily Show host’s ode to his harsh and humble origins, his mother’s love and perseverance, and his own experiences through it all is not a memoir to be missed.
