Reseña del editor:

&;[In Pimp], Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest, capitalist concepts I&;ve ever heard in my life.&; &;Dave Chappelle, from his Netflix special The Bird Revelation

An immersive experience unlike anything before it, Pimp is the classic hustler&;s tale that never seems to go out of style.

Iceberg Slim&;s autobiographical novel sent shockwaves throughout the literary world when it published in 1969. Groundbreaking for its authentic and oft-brutal account of the sex trade, the book offers readers an unforgettable look at the mores of Chicago&;s street life during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. In the preface, Slim says it best, &;In this book, I will take you, the reader, with me into the secret inner world of the pimp.&; With millions of copies sold, Pimp has become vital reading across generations of writers, entertainers and filmmakers alike, making it a timeless piece of American literature.
