    • - Mi madre me quería tanto, que tuvo que tirarme de un coche en marcha para que huyera. - Mi padre me quería tanto, que cuando paseaba conmigo lo hacía por la vereda de enfrente, sin mirarme.- Mi padre era suizo, muy blanco. - Mi madre era xhosa, muy negra.- Y, según las leyes del apartheid, por ser de razas distintas tenían prohibido hacer el amor. - Pero al parecer lo hicieron... porque nací yo.- Lo peor que podía haber hecho. Trevor Noah (Johannesburgo, 1984) nació en una familia pobre en la violenta Sudáfrica del apartheid. Dos décadas después, es la nueva estrella de la comedia política en EE. UU. y el principal azote de Donald Trump.«Triste, divertido, desgarrador e irresistible. Un relato inolvidable sobre una infancia en el apartheid... y una carta de amor a una madre excepcional.» Michiko Kakutani, 'The New York Times'
