Query: The real "surreal life"

Robert Beck a.k.a. Iceberg Slim was a Chicago pimp in the 1950s and 60s.He was also an excellent writer who ,in the tradition of Piri Thomas,chronicled the harrowing day-by-day experiences of being a hustler and outlaw in the urban jungle.His clear,sparse prose and keen observational skills pulls the reader into the netherworld he inhabited,exposing them to the raw reality of sexual play-for-pay and the men and women who were both victims and victimizers in the game.Uncompromising,and unflinching in its depictions,Beck's stories are the original reality series.Beck served as the writing inspiration for scribes such as Donald Goines,and he was the sole voice of the black urban experience for Holloway House for years.One step into his world,and you'll never leave,for his journey is one from which there is no escape.
