Pimp

Notes

Pimp by Iceberg Slim is the semi-autobiographical tale of a Chicago pimp. Bleak, brutal and barbaric.

Publishers Synopsis

In this astonishing account, Iceberg Slim reveals the secret inner world of the pimp, and the smells, sounds, fears and petty triumphs of his world. A legendary figure of the Chicago underworld, this is his story: from defending his mother against the men in their lives to becoming a giant of the streets.

A seething tale of brutality, cunning and greed, Pimp is a harrowing portrait of life on the wrong side of the tracks, and a rich warning from a true survivor.

Pimp is hot and frantic, a remarkable tour de force of carnality and violence — The Times
