Trevor Noah is an excellent story teller, evidently a talent you have or quickly build up as a comedian. This book is written in piece-wise stories so you can read one chapter, then pause and reflect before moving on to the next. There’s a lot of dark and graphic content, and there are many content warnings for this book. None of it was ever written to shock the reader but it is matter-of-fact as he talks about his childhood and early life. Even if you don’t know or enjoy his comedy, Trevor Noah’s book gives a lot of insight into how race and the aftermath of apartheid play into recent- and modern-day Africa.
