あらすじ・解説
Born a Crime is the deeply personal story of what has shaped Trevor Noah, South African comedian and host of the Daily Show. An astonishing memoir that details growing up in the midst of a crumbling apartheid, it illuminates his unique vantage point and how it prepared him for a life in the public eye. This is a sharply humorous, engaging and unforgettable record of Noah's life and at its heart, a love letter to his remarkable mother.
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 listeners 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 18 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 incisive wit and 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.

ストーリー
Tokyo resident Keiko Furukara has never fit in - neither in her family, nor in school - but when at the age of 18 she begins working at the Hiiromachi branch of national convenience store chain Smile Mart, she realizes instantly that she has found her purpose in life. Delighted to be able to exist in a place where the rules of social interaction are crystal clear (many are laid out line-by-line in the store's manual), Keiko does her best to copy the dress, mannerisms, and mode of speech of her colleagues, playing the part of a "normal" person excellently, more or less.

Eye-opening and entertaining
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.

はじめて洋書で最後まで読むことができました。
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!

最高
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。
