About this book
Born to a Black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father when such a union was illegal, Trevor Noah grew up on the edges of apartheid South Africa, a child whose very existence was a crime. In eighteen linked stories he recounts township childhood, church Sundays, chameleon-like language-switching, teenage hustling and the fierce, funny, deeply religious mother who shaped him. The tone is comic and generous even when the material is hard, and each chapter stands on its own. A warm, clear-eyed memoir about poverty, identity, mischief and the stubborn love between a son and his mother.
