The book

This is the true stroy of the pimp. The story of the smells, the sounds, the fears and the petty triumphs of his world. Told without moralising and with no pretence of bitterness, Iceberg Slim relates his twenty-five years in the Game, from the building up of stables to losing himself on scag. It was a life of ups and downs, and to succeed you had to be utterly ruthless. Few survived - Iceberg Slim did.

Nobody but a pimp could tell this story and none ever has - until Iceberg Slim.

Iceberg Slim

Roberk Beck, who used the moniker Iceberg Slim, was a major league pimp who enjoyed serious sucess during the 40s and 50s. He decided to leave the pimping game having served his third and final stretch in jail. He moved to Los Angeles where he straightened out and began a career as a writer. Pimp was originally published in 1967.
