It’s amazing how much historical information and humor Noah is able to infuse into what is, by many accounts, a love letter to his mother.

I learned so much about the past and present of South Africa and apartheid, as well as gained so much admiration and respect for Noah’s contribution to comedy and global culture.

Really loved this on audio. If you (like me) are sensitive about animal death or gross food, skip the beginning of the chapter entitled Fufi and the part about eating "smileys" and the part on the dish involving caterpillars. A smart, funny, original memoir by a gifted storyteller.
