Iceberg Slim, also known as Robert Beck, was born in Chicago in 1918 and was initiated into the life of the pimp at age 18. He briefly attended the Tuskegee Institute but dropped out to return to the streets of the South Side, where he remained, pimping until he was 42. After several stints in jail he decided to give up the life and turned to writing, crafting most famously his autobiographical classic, Pimp: The Story of My Life. He died in 1992.

Not as good as Pimp, but still thoroughly entertaining. Two of my three stars are just for the character names. In addition to the mixed-race main character White Folks and his mentor/partner in the con game Blue Howard, there's Dot Murray, Memphis Kid and St. Louis Shorty, Livin' Swell, Vicksburg K...
