Born a Crime

Laugh, cry, and learn with *Born a Crime*, the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir by comedian Trevor Noah. Born in apartheid South Africa to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, Noah’s very existence was a crime. Through a collection of sharp, hilarious, and deeply moving essays, he recounts his coming-of-age story—from being hidden indoors to navigating the chaotic post-apartheid world. At the heart of the book is his fearless, rebellious mother, who saved him from the cycle of poverty and violence. Insightful and entertaining, this is an unforgettable tribute to a mother’s love and a young man’s resilience.
