There was talk about Iceberg Slim and Donald Goines. What do
people think
of a grim one or two months while we look at _Pimp_ by
Iceberg Slim and/or
_Whoreson_ by Goines? I'm not trying to offend anybody, but
both writers
have been mentioned favourably here even though they'd
probably be new to
a lot of readers (including me). The Goines book is in print
at Amazon,
and Iceberg seems to be back out of print now.
After this, we should probably go back and do a month or two
of classic
old stuff, and pull _They Shoot Horses, Don't They?_ (Horace
McCoy) and
_Solomon's Vineyard_ (Jonathan Latimer) off the suggestion
list.
