À propos de cet audio

From one of the most revolutionary writers of the twentieth century comes the uncensored and gritty novel that inspired today's street lit and hip-hop culture.

After my ninth birthday, I began to really understand the meaning of my name. I began to understand just what my mother was doing for a living. There was nothing I could do about it, but even had I been able to, I wouldn't have changed it.

Whoreson Jones is the son of a beautiful black prostitute and an unknown white john. As a child, he's looked after by his neighborhood's imposing matriarch, Big Mama, while his mother works. At age twelve, his street education begins when a man named Fast Black schools him in trickology. By thirteen, Whoreson's a cardsharp. By sixteen, his childhood abruptly ends, and he is a full-fledged pimp, cold-blooded and ruthless, battling to understand and live up to his mother's words: "First be a man, then be a pimp."

Not for kids or teens in my opinion, but if like a good life story of a pimp this is a good book to give a go

It’s not for everybody but it’s definitely a good listen

Reminded me of old movies- the narrator had so much style. The main character was well developed but I felt like he needed more trauma in his own childhood to change as much as he did. The rape parts were hard to stomach but for the time and the role - made sense. I enjoyed it

Narrator was stellar. You can tell it was written 50 years ago

I can't believe they allowed the book to be published with all the women beating.

To much violence against women
