Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Listened to this audiobook. Normally I love comedians' memoirs — especially hearing it in their voice and delivery — but this one didn't thrill me. Maybe it's because I came into it with the wrong expectation: that it would be funny. And don't get me wrong, it WAS funny at times, just not in a laugh-out-loud way.

But this was very interesting from a cultural perspective, learning about how prevalent a role apartheid played in his youth (despite that being not so long ago), and his mom is a BADASS lady I loved hearing about. It's dramatic and interesting and eye-opening for sure, but this is a rare instance of a memoir I think I would have actually enjoyed more had I read it on the page vs. listened to it over the course of a few months via auidobook.
