This compelling and comically sublime coming-of-age story unfolds during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. Trevor Noah, a bright new voice in comedy, offers sharp observations on the absurdities of politics, race, and identity, drawing from his wealth of experiences. As the host of The Daily Show, he delivers biting satire to audiences worldwide, but here he provides a deeply personal and humorous glimpse into the world that shaped him. Born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, Trevor's existence was illegal, and he was kept indoors during his early years to protect him from a government that could imprison his mother for their union. With the end of apartheid, Trevor and his mother embraced freedom and the opportunities that came with it. This collection of eighteen personal essays chronicles his journey from a mischievous boy to a restless young man navigating a world where he was never meant to exist. It also highlights his fearless, rebellious mother, who fought to save him from a cycle of poverty and violence. Through experiences ranging from subsisting on caterpillars to surviving high school dating pitfalls, Noah illuminates his life with incisive wit and unflinching honesty, creating a moving and funny portrait of resilience and love.
