概要

 The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.

One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him.

Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.

A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man's fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.

Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah's own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must listen.

批評家のレビュー

Essential reading... Engaging, fast-paced and vivid, leavened with insight and wit . . . Born a Crime does more to expose apartheid - its legacy, its pettiness, its small-minded stupidity and its damage - than any other recent history book or academic text
Powerful and unique
A brilliant memoir, bonding and hilarious... Fantastic
Witty and brilliant...You'd be hard-pressed to find a better origin story
Trevor Noah's childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa's history that must never be forgotten
Compelling . . . By turns alarming, sad, and funny, Born a Crime is not just an unnerving account of growing up in South Africa under apartheid, but a love letter to Trevor Noah's remarkable mother
A soul-nourishing pleasure... an enormous gift
A book to read now
A memoir with heft... Astonishingly fearless... this story soars
Mind-blowing
Trevor Noah has a real story to tell -- and tells it well... A little scary, but trust me -- it's funny
An affecting memoir. . . and a love letter to his mother
Extraordinary . . . essential reading on every level. It's hard to imagine a finer job
Noah proves a gifted storyteller, deftly lacing his poignant tales with amusing irony
Incisive, funny, and vivid, Trevor Noah's electrifying memoir sparkles with staggering true tales . . . and his candid and compassionate essays deepen our perception of the complexities of race, gender, and class
A gritty memoir . . . studded with insight and provocative social criticism . . . and brilliant storytelling and acute observations
Humble, candid and funny
Thoughtful, observant and empathetic...warm and human
Treats what could be a dark topic with humour and light

More than an autobiography, it’s more like an homage to his amazing mother and how she raised a mixed-race boy and his brothers during and after apartheid. I would listen while at work and find myself just listening and being totally invested in this book. So glad he performed the book he wrote, it would not be the same if he hadn’t.

Eye-opening and entertaining

Trevorさんのナレーションすごく良かったです！とても分かりやすい発音と明るい喋りであっという間に終わりました。

特に幼少期の声を真似する時は愛らしいですね。

お母さんのキャラクターがとても面白くて、また日本とは違った環境で育ったストーリーも驚くことが多くて楽しく聞くことができました。

洋書ビギナーにはとてもオススメです。また、機会があれば読み返して英語の勉強として活用したいです！

はじめて洋書で最後まで読むことができました。

英語の勉強に購入しました。分かりやすい言葉選びと発音、そして何より話の面白さから、あっという間に聴き終えてしまった感じです。今まで洋書のリーディングでこんなに長い話をほぼ全て理解して聴けたのは初めてです。洋書のオーディオブック入門に丁度良いのではないでしょうか。
