Mama Black Widow
Mama Black Widow: A Story of the South's Black Underworld | Iceberg Slim
1 post | 2 to read
The most gritty and real illustration of the black ghetto ever told, from the only man capable of telling it, Iceberg Slim, bestselling author of Pimp. Mama Black Widow tells the tragic story of Otis Tilson, a stunning black drag queen trapped in a cruel queer ghetto underworld. In hopes of escaping the racial bigotry and economic injustice of the South, Otis’ family journeys north from their plantation to an urban promised land. Once in Chicago Otis and his brother and sisters become prisoners to a wasteland of violence, crime, prostitution and rape. This is the gut-wrenching tale of the destruction of a family and the truest portrayal of homosexuality in the ghetto ever told.

I‘m already caught in the flurry of this one. I‘m listening to the audiobook and the actor is great, but I‘m still missing some stuff and having to go back. Hopefully I can get accustomed to the cadence of this book, because the story itself is riveting.
