Pimp sent shock waves throughout the literary world
when it published in 1969.
Iceberg Slims' autobiographical novel offered readers
a never-before-seen account of the sex trade, and
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.”
An immersive experience unlike anything before it,
Pimp would go on to sell millions of copies, with
translations throughout the world.
And it would have a profound impact upon generations
of writers, entertainers, and filmmakers, making it the
classic hustler’s tale that never seems to go out of style.
As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the
story of Slim’s life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it.
Only he could tell this story and make the reader feel it.
If you thought Hustle and Flow was the true pimp story,
this book is where it all began.
This is the heyday of the pimp, the hard-won pride and glory.
“[In Pimp], Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest,
capitalist concepts I’ve ever heard in my life.”
—Dave Chappelle, from his Nextflix special The Bird Revelation
