The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim

By: Iceberg Slim

Narrated by: Bobby Spears

In The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim, the fierce and lyrical icon for criminal reformation describes himself as "ill… from America's fake façade of justice and democracy. "For Iceberg Slim, the illness may have been a detriment, but for us it's a gift. His tales serve as a chilling reminder that we are all inmates of one prison or another, and the time to break free has arrived. Iceberg Slim's story is now depicted in a major motion picture, IcebergSlim: Portrait of a Pimp, which shows his transformation from pimp to the author of seven classic books.

Offering brutal, difficult-to-swallow tales from the underground, this audiobook exposes the author's inner workings in a way none of his others have, resulting in a straight-out, heartfelt confession.

As if Iceberg Slim's charismatic words weren't enough to evoke the essence of this time in his life - the LA underground of the 1960s - each character carries their own baggage, struggles, and influence on Slim's vision of the world.

Still intrigued

I read the book 20 years ago and I still wanted to listen to it on audiobooks.

Amazing information

No dislike. It was a great read just as the other titles, Bobby never disappoints

Intellectual Depth!!!

Iceberg Slim not only has a way with words which is the foundation of every great writer, but he has also has the experience of being on both sides of the moral equation. Great read!!!!!

Holy Hell

Intense and real? I never would have survived. Filled with words and thoughts not meant to be heard by young children.
