In this book Iceberg speaks unflinchingly, sharing his qualified and valuable perspective on important 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.
