I loved listening to Trevor tell his story of surviving – and thriving – in South Africa (with the help of his astonishingly fearless mother). This audiobook is hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Trevor is a natural storyteller – skilled, engaging, and relatable – and his ability to embody the characters and perform different accents makes the book come alive. Trevor Noah provides the narration which elevates this audiobook from what is already a terrific memoir into something really special. In April 2019, Trevor released It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime, adapted for young readers. These stories include subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, and simply trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school. In Born a Crime, Trevor shares stories of growing up in South Africa during the twilight of apartheid. 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. Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor Noah, one of the comedy worlds fastest-rising stars and host of The Daily Show, tells his wild coming-of-age story during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. For me, I knew little about the man before downloading this audiobook I was simply looking for my next listen and decided to pick one of The Audible Essentials (basically the Audible Editors selections of the best of the best on Audible). For many, Trevor Noah needs no introduction – he is a successful South African comedian and current host of The Daily Show.
