Talk show host to publish a book of personal essays about growing up in South Africa

Talk show host Trevor Noah to publish a collection personal essays about growing up in South Africa.

Publisher Spiegel & Grau, an imprint of Penguin Random House, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that it had acquired a collection of personal essays by the 31-year-old Noah about "growing up in South Africa during the last gasps of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that came with its demise."

"I couldn't find a good book about myself so I decided to write one. And just like me this book doesn't have an appendix," Noah said in a statement.

The book is currently untitled and will come out in November

Noah was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. His mother, Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, is of mixed Xhosa and Jewish ancestry, and his father, Robert, is of Swiss German ethnicity.

His parents' relationship was illegal at the time of his birth because of apartheid, and his mother was jailed and fined by the South African government.
