About the Author:
Robert Beck, who used the moniker Iceberg Slim, was a major-league pimp who enjoyed serious success during the 1940s and 1950s. He decided to leave the pimping game after serving his third and final stretch in jail. He moved to Los Angeles where he straightened out and began a career as a writer. Trick Baby, originally published in 1967, is his second book.
Review:
One of the most honest and original writers to emerge from the last century, Slim fully earns his place in the canon of America's greatest. -- Helen Walsh Trick Baby is an American classic. * * Publishing News * * Slim always told it as it was, without compromise. -- Irvine Welsh His prose is almost Shakespearean in its inventiveness and his dialogue hums with ghetto jive. * * Scotsman * * Slim belongs to the knuckle-duster-in-the-face school of storytelling. * * Sunday Times * * Iceberg Slim always kept it real. So he will always be relevant. -- Ice T
