Born a Crime

Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show 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. This compelling memoir follows a mischievous young boy as he grows into a restless young man, struggling to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist with his mother.
