Why this book should exist

Born a Crime is on every shelf in our country. We've reread it. We want the next one.

Specifically: the years on The Daily Show. The years on the road. The strange comedy of leaving a country that produced you.

We don't want a celebrity memoir. We want the same observational humour that made Born a Crime work — turned on adulthood.

The promise

A second memoir about adulthood, distance, and the comedy that holds people together when crisis is the weather report.

“I started this campaign because I have spent years hoping Trevor Noahwould write this. I'd rather ask publicly than keep waiting.”
