En savoir plus sur le livre
Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, offers a sharp and humorous perspective on the absurdities of politics, nationalism, and race, drawing from his own unique experiences. In his first book, he recounts his coming-of-age story alongside his larger-than-life mother during the final days of apartheid and the tumultuous years that followed. Born illegal to a white Dutch father and a black Xhosa mother, Noah's family had to navigate a world where they often had to disguise their true relationship. His mother, a fervent Christian who attended church six days a week, was a resourceful hustler who ensured they had food during tough times. She was also an intensely involved parent, whose misguided efforts shaped Noah's path to stardom. His stories are a mix of dark humor, bizarre situations, and tender moments—ranging from surviving on caterpillars during extreme poverty to awkward teenage romances in a racially charged environment. He shares experiences of being wrongfully imprisoned and dramatic encounters with gangsters, all infused with his signature wit and insight.
