Complete Iceberg Slim name list
When I started reading Iceberg Slim novels, I, like many, was struck by how good the street names of the characters were. From the famous ones like “Sweet Jones” and Iceberg Slim itself (Robert Beck, the government name of the author, actually pimped in real life under the name “Cavanaugh Slim”) we also have lesser well-know but amazing monikers like “Weeping Shorty.” I started keeping a list while reading and slowly added to it as I worked my way through all his work.
