I listened to the audio book and it was fantastic! What a life he has lead. I had no idea. His mom sounds like a pretty amazing woman. I can't wait to see how they turn this into a screenplay!
Read by Lynne: An amazing story that opened my eyes to a part of the world I was not very familiar. The story of a comedian from South Africa. I recommend this book.
An exceptional back story to an exceptional man. His memoirs of growing up a colored boy in both apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa provide insight on manhood, raising children, class, race, and life in general. A guy known mostly for his comedy gives us a glimpse into his powerful story that has lessons for all of us. I highly recommend it. Most powerfully, the story of his mother makes me especially thankful for the family I come from and the sacrifices my parents have made for my siblings and me.
