Synopsis
STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH: Iceberg Slim gives unprecedented insight into his incredible life as a pimp, when he played God to hundreds of women, in this collection of rare interviews.

He lectured at colleges, advising students to learn from his mistakes and lead socially constructive lives. He influenced artists such as Ice-T, Donald Goines, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. In this book Iceberg speaks unflinchingly, sharing his qualified and valuable perspective on important topics: sex, drugs, racism, crime, prison, politics, family and writing. Inside, Iceberg’s fascinating life as a writer, father and husband is also revealed for the first time in exclusive frank interviews with his daughter Misty Beck, and Bentley Morriss of Holloway House Publishing in Los Angeles. These interviews are complimented by rare photos and must-read articles about Iceberg Slim.

Review
A very complex personality becomes more revealing in Ian Whitaker's engrossing ICEBERG SLIM: THE LOST INTERVIEWS. A must read about an era, a culture, an icon of his time. --Bentley Morriss, Holloway House, Los Angeles
Ian Whitaker's book, Iceberg Slim: the Lost Interviews, is a very fine piece of work, seamlessly stitched, provocative and informative. Whitaker uses stories about Robert "Iceberg Slim" Beck, and interviews, to give us a multi-faceted look at this cultural icon. No judgments are passed, no preaching done, no attempts made to create a devil or a saint. Iceberg Slim, the Lost Interviews makes for a fascinating read. Sensational. --Odie Hawkins, author, Los Angeles
Everyone who's read Pimp has a dream that if only they could sit and talk until sunrise with Iceberg... and it would be one of the most fascinating and informative conversations you could ever have. This book is that dream come true! Lost Interviews With The Pimp is the best book I have read this year. --Paradise, author of Space Age Pimping, London
