*Imprint Spiegel & Grau, publisher of Trevor Noah’s debut memoir Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, has bought the comedian’s untitled follow-up memoir in a pre-emptive bid, reports Deadline.
The new book, due November 13, will reportedly pick up where Born a Crime left off, following Noah’s journey from a aspiring young comedian in a reborn South Africa to the cusp of global stardom.
Now in its 18th printing, Born a Crime is a collection of Noah’s personal stories about growing up in South Africa during the final years of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that came with its demise. The book was an instant New York Times bestseller and to date has spent 26 weeks on the bestseller list. It won the James Thurber Prize for American Humor, two NAACP Image Awards and has been translated into 10 languages.
Noah hosts Emmy- and Peabody-winning “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, which this year was nominated for a Writers Guild Award, as well as two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information Show.
Noah debuted his ninth comedy special “Afraid of the Dark” on Netflix last year.
