BORN A CRIME AND OTHER STORIES by Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah's path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of the Daily Show in New York began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison.

Born A Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of his relationship with his fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse the would ultimately threaten her own life.

The eighteen personal essays are by turns hilarious, dramatic and deeply affecting.
