Born A Crime

Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Completely unexpected and delightful, this is an incredibly informative read. So much I didn’t understand about apartheid. There are funny moments, but this isn't a funny book. And while it's a memoir, it skips the self-absorption and (more kindly) much of the self-reflection of the genre. It's written so that people can know more, and successfully so.
