Born A Crime : Stories From A South African Childhood | By Trevor Noah | John Murray Publication ( English Medium ).

WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE

The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.

One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him.

Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.

A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man's fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.

Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah's own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must read. Born a Crime" is a powerful and humorous memoir by comedian and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah. The book recounts his experiences growing up in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa as the son of a Black South African mother and a white Swiss father—an interracial relationship that was illegal at the time, making his very existence a crime.

Through a collection of personal stories, Noah paints a vivid picture of his childhood, navigating issues of race, identity, poverty, and resilience. At the heart of the book is his deep bond with his fearless and devout mother, who played a crucial role in shaping his values and ambitions. Blending humor with sharp social commentary, Born a Crime is an inspiring and eye-opening memoir about overcoming adversity and finding one’s voice.
