For more than two decades, Beck, writing as <i>Iceberg Slim</i> has fascinated or horrified readers of his books and stories. Beck doesn't create superflies ans superhos; he gives the reader real live people- people with hopes and fears who cough breath and bleed and who have grabbed the only ticket they can find out of misery but the ticket is often a one way trip into hell and suffering. This anthology of stories by Beck is a monument to the courage of the people of the streets. Some of them make it; most dont. Laugh along with them; cry when they cry; hurt when life turns against them. 2071378 1985 Airtight Willie & Me total:49|5:17|4:10|3:17|2:4|1:1| 49 185 70 5 4 1 false false Fri Nov 23 07:47:56 -0800 2007 Mon Apr 07 07:48:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Dec 22 12:51:16 -0800 2008 Wed Aug 12 15:10:48 -0700 2009 didn't finish I loved Mama Black Widow but this and Pimp really fell short for me and I'm not going to force myself through half of this ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 31 18:00:59 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 17:23:05 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Sep 22 11:49:12 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 12:23:10 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Sep 16 10:48:15 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 16 10:48:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 30 05:20:47 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 05:20:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 03:37:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 03:37:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 10 19:01:27 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:01:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 06:45:55 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 06:45:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 15:00:26 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 15:00:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 20 23:58:15 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 23:59:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 24 14:00:07 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 14:00:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed May 13 10:41:21 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 10:41:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 29 19:06:08 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 19:06:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 22 16:41:13 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 16:41:13 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sun Apr 05 17:57:56 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 17:57:56 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 29 13:52:27 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 13:52:32 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sun Mar 22 23:08:36 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 23:08:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 16 01:11:42 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 01:11:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 06 20:54:38 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 20:54:38 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=355746
