Born a Crime Review

Reflection of “Born a Crime” by Trevor Noah: A Comedy, Adversity, and Enlightenment Introduction This book by Trevor Noah is not so much a memoir as it is a collection of tales and the narrator’s experiences set complemented by wit, sorrow, and understanding of post-apartheid South Africa. Released in 2016, there is the audiobook version of this book with Noah himself as the narrator, which adds the genuine tone to the narration. Told by an actual comedian and the host of The Daily Show, Noah’s gift of storytelling can be profoundly boisterous in this autobiographical work that gives the audience a total background about his unfortunate childhood under the apartheid of race and poverty.
