The former 'Daily Show' host's new book, due out this fall, is being described as a modern fable about forgiveness, acceptance and the secret to solidarity.
Trevor Noah is readying his next book.
While much about his new project is being kept under wraps, publisher One World is billing the novel as a “gorgeously illustrated and moving modern fable for readers of all ages about forgiveness, acceptance and the secret to solidarity.” The not-yet-titled book, which is due out later this fall, is said to be evocative of allegories and fables like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Little Prince.
Noah, who’s been on a global stand-up tour since signing off at The Daily Show in early December, has already established himself as a major player in the publishing world. His previous book, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, became a No. 1 international bestseller when it was published in 2016. In fact, it spent 32 weeks on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction list and won the 2017 Thurber Prize for Humor.
In the years since, Born a Crime has continued to be required reading in many schools, and, though the process has been anything but quick, the collection of personal stories will be adapted for film, with Lupita Nyong’o attached to play Noah’s mother, Patricia. One World’s executive vp and publisher Chris Jackson, who edited Born a Crime while he was at Spiegel & Grau, acquired the North American, translation and audio rights to the latest book from Noah’s book agent, Peter McGuigan, at Ultra Literary. It is not the Born a Crime follow-up that he inked a deal to write back in 2018. Read More…
