nixie a publié une critique de Born a Crime par Trevor Noah
What it says on the cover!
4 étoiles
“Stories from a South African childhood” is an apt subtitle for this book. It's not an autobiography in the full sense, there's nothing about the author's career in comedy here for example, but there's a lot about South Africa. I'm not familiar with Noah's work, but this text sounds like a standup routine, which is what makes it readable: otherwise, the violence, poverty, and other parts of apartheid would not be digestible. And his mother is such a perfect character: unique and common at the same time, flawed and loved, just great.
