Iceberg Slim 
Airtight Willie and Me [EPUB ebook] 
and Other Stories

Airtight Willie and Me is a collection of six tales from the underground, all of them characterized by Iceberg Slim»s distinctive and unforgettable prose. From the opening story, in which Slim meets Airtight Willie, one of New York»s slickest con men, to Satin, a classic tale of revenge in which a heist goes badly wrong, the reader is hooked into a rollercoaster ride through the badlands of urban America. Compelling always, funny sometimes, and typically bleak in their endings, Slim»s slices of city life are important social documents that scorch most contemporary into submission. There is no moralizing bullshit, no romanticized illusions, few redemming factors – just straight-up sawn-off shotgun blasts from the »King of the Ghetto».
