"Undisputed Truth, is the American dream writ large in raw detail: think Citizen Kane scripted by the writing team of The Wire.... [it] has a great American novel feel to it... Tyson could easily be a Tom Wolfe or Norman Mailer creation." -Austin Collings, New Statesman "[A] lively mixture of a memoir." -Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books "Tyson was ever practised at delivering the early killer blow; and so it is with this gripping and indecently enthralling autobiography....Tyson always had a way with words - although much of the credit for this book must go to his ghostwriter Larry "Ratso" Sloman, who not only makes Tyson's life read like an Elmore Leonard thriller, but gifts him with considerable self-awareness and a memorably pithy turn of phrase....recounted in gripping, punch-by-punch detail in prose pungent with the reek of blood, sweat and petroleum jelly." -Mick Brown, The Telegraph (UK) "Thrilling...addictive...Sloman brings Tyson's voice springing off the page with its often hilarious combo of street and shrink, pimp profanity and the 'prisony pseudo-intellectual modern mack rap' of the autodidact." -Geoff Dyer, The Guardian (UK)
Larry "Ratso" Sloman lives in New York City.
