This is the gritty truth, the life of a hustler in South Side Chicago, where the only characters are those who con and those who get conned.

Trick Baby tells the story of White Folks, a blue-eyed, light-haired con artist whose pale skin allows him to pass in the streets as a white man. Folks is tormented early in life, rejected by other children and branded a "trick baby", a child conceived between a hooker and her trick. Refusing to abandon his life in the ghetto and a chance at revenge, Folks is taken under the wing of an older mentor, Blue. What happens next is unbelievable.

Only Slim could bring us the story of a hustler forced to learn the game and rise to the top. It's Slim's story, and he tells it the only way he knows how: in the language of the streets.

Another dive into a world so unbelievable, and tragic. The characters in this story are just as immersive as Iceberg Slim's previous entry, Pimp. A great listen!

Great story!

This book or at least excerpts from it should be taught high school and college history classes. how can books like The Great Gatsby and Hamlet be taught in school and a book like this remains a secret?

beyond intense and good for my white suburb ears
