Born a Crime
Stories from a South African Childhood
Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah, a stand-up comedian and actor, is a fast-rising star in the competitive US late-night talk-show business. The 33-year-old anchor of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show since 2015, he has steadily gained a reputation on a par with seasoned hitters like Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Seth Meyers with his coruscating political commentary. Regretfully, his shows do not air on Indian TV (though they are available on YouTube), but there are many reasons Indians would relate to this captivating little childhood memoir.
