Born a Crime Stories from a South African Childhood By Trevor Noah

Highest-rated new book of 2016 by Audible customers

Winner: Audible's Best of 2016 - Celebrity Memoirs

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah narrates his wild coming-of-age story during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. The tale begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters and follows Noah's journey to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical. Noah's virtuoso performance, embodying all the characters from his childhood and effortlessly performing accents and dialects in English, Xhosa, and Zulu, earned him the Audie Award for Best Male Narrator in 2018. However, it is Noah's devoted and uncompromising mother—voiced with heartfelt emotion by Noah himself—who truly steals the show.
