TREVOR NOAH - BORN A CRIME: STORIES FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN CHILDHOOD (2016 Unabridged Audiobook) Trevor Noah

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah is a captivating and thought-provoking memoir that chronicles Noah’s extraordinary journey from a mischievous boy coming of age in the twilight of apartheid-era South Africa to one of today’s most beloved comedians.

Known for his sharp wit and unique perspective as then host of The Daily Show, Noah brings listeners into his world with a series of powerful, humorous, and poignant stories about growing up as a biracial child in a society where his very existence was considered illegal.

Narrated by Noah himself, the audiobook captures the full range of his experiences—from the loving yet complex relationship with his mother to the challenges and absurdities of navigating racial boundaries in South Africa.

It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Through tales of his rebellious childhood antics, his encounters with poverty, and his family’s unwavering resilience, Noah provides listeners with an intimate look at a young life shaped by political injustice and cultural contradictions.

Born a Crime is more than just a memoir; it’s a testament to the strength of family, the absurdity of apartheid, and the power of humor to bridge divides.

For fans of Noah and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, this audiobook is a heartfelt and eye-opening listen, full of laughter and insight into the human spirit.

Noah’s virtuoso embodiment of all the characters from his childhood, and his ability to perform accents and dialects effortlessly in English, Xhosa, and Zulu, garnered the Audie Award for Best Male Narrator in 2018.
