I wish the audio version was more accessible for those that don’t want to pay audible just to listen to Mr. Noah’s memoir but worth the read. I was admittedly ignorant to life post apartheid in South Africa nor was I aware of how many languages are spoken in this country. Trevor recounts his life sprinkled with humor and seriousness. I was appalled that mixed individuals were given their own title and still being mistreated. I’m curious if Charlize Theron’s memoir (does she have one?) has any parallels with Trevor’s since they both unfortunately suffered abuse in the hands of the men in their lives.
Graphic: Racism
