Formats & Editions

Born A Crime, Trevor Noah's brilliant memoir of his South African childhood was a phenomenon. Picked out as a must-read by everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Bill Gates, it has been a huge bestseller all round the world and won several prizes including the Thurber Prize for comic writing. This is the eagerly awaited next installment of his incredible story.

19 year-old Trevor leaves home and promptly manages to fall foul of the local mafia. His love life is a complete disaster; his jobs full of mistakes and missteps -- he even ends up in prison -- and the stories of his misadventures set against the backdrop of a country in turmoil make for riveting and hilarious reading. Like Born a Crime this is far more than a compelling memoir -- it is also the irreverent story of South Africa's own coming of age.
