Review

After reading Iceberg Slim's autobiographical Pimp, I couldn't wait to read more. Trick Baby, set in Chicago in the 1930's tells the story of Whitefolks and his mentor Blue as two conmen trying to survive.

What I found remarkable about this book and others written by Slim is the sheer honesty which exudes from every page. He deals with subjects neglected by almost everybody else in the U.S. His books are of major importance and deserve to be read by a much wider audience.
