This is a beautiful thank you note/love letter from a son to his mother as he reminisces over the hardships of growing up in pre/post Apartheid Africa. (I only hope my son can look back on his childhood and my guidance as Trevor does his mother. ) Trevor's humor allows you to connect with him and the tragedies that unfold. It is witty and thought provoking. How does one go from being born a crime to comedy genius? A powerful understanding of words.
