Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robert Beck, who used the moniker Iceberg Slim, was a major-league pimp 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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

'One of the most influential writers of our age.'
Irvine Welsh

Trick Baby charts the rise of White Folks, a white Negro who uses his colour as a trump card in the tough game of the Con. Blue-eyed, light-haired and white-skinned, White Folks is the most incredible con man the ghetto ever spawned, a hustler in the jungle of Southside Chicago where only the sharpest survive.

With his partner Blue, an old hand who teaches him the tricks of the trade, White Folks rises to the top of his profession. The cons he pulls off get more and more lucrative and dangerous until one day they go too far . . .

'Trick Baby is an American classic.'
Publishing News

'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
