"One of the most exciting literary revival series since the rediscovery of Jim Thompson's novels" (Playboy), Old School Books "is subtly transforming the landscape of post-war black fiction" (Bomb).
"Mama Black Widow" is the nickname of Otis Tilson, a comely and tragic black queen adrift with his brothers and sisters in the dark ghetto world of pimpdom and violent crime. His story is told in the gut-level language of the homosexual underworld-an unforgettable testament of life lived on the margins of a racist and predatory urban hell.

Iceberg Slim is the name Robert Beck used in the ghetto. He was a pimp and this is his story, told without bitterness and with no pretense at moralising...the smells, the sounds, the fears, the petty triumphs in the world of the pimp.
He was young, ambitious and blessed with a superior I.Q. He lived the Game for twenty-five years of his life, knocking out whores, building up stables, losing himself on scag, proving himself to be the biggest mack in Chicago. It was a life of ups and downs, and to succeed you had to be utterly ruthless. Few survived -Iceberg did.
Nobody but a pimp could tell this story and none ever has...until Iceberg Slim.

This, the first ever U.K. edition of Pimp, includes a specially commissioned introduction by Ice T, the massively successful rapper who took his name from Iceberg Slim.
