Trevor Noah New Home
“A compelling new memoir. By turns alarming, sad and funny, Trevor Noah’s book provides a harrowing look, through the prism of Mr. Noah’s family, at life in South Africa under apartheid. Trevor Noah recalls childhood under apartheid in new memoir. Some readers may be thrown a little by the title of Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime: Stories from a South African.
19 year-old Trevor leaves home and promptly manages to fall foul of the local mafia who want to kill him. His love life is a complete disaster; his jobs full of mistakes and missteps -- he even ends up in prison -- yet somehow he generally manages to come out on top. The story of the night where he gets the job of taking all the contestants for Miss Universe out on the town and (of course) it all goes horribly wrong is particularly unforgettable. Like Born a Crime this is far more than a must-read memoir, painting a brilliant and moving portrait of a country in change.
