“Born a Crime is not a fictionalized account, Noah’s experiences were real. From peddling bootleg CDs to paying bribes, Noah’s memoir hit home with me. I was afforded the privilege of ignoring these systems for everyday survival but Noah’s account led me to reflect how others cannot ignore or escape. I laughed though my irritation. I was confused, because I was angry — yet couldn’t help but laugh. Perhaps this is what Noah intended with his writing — bearable pain.”
