Doom Fox - Iceberg Slim - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Doom Fox - Iceberg Slim - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Doom Fox is the final instalment in Iceberg Slim''s searing sequence of highly-charged books that began with his critically acclaimed and multi-million selling autobiography, Pimp . Slim''s powerful, raw prose and eye-opening reflections of black ghetto realities have helped to redefine modern American literature, offering the reader a glimpse into lifestyles and language never before seen in print. Doom Fox tells the tragic story of three generations of the Allen family in post-war L. A. Written with Slim''s typically disturbing honesty and sharp humour, it paints their lives with compassion, telling their stories in their own words, in the language of the street. The result is another riveting and potent urban parable, a bitter coomentary on a society that has as its core a legalized policy of discrimination.
