Mama Black Widow by Iceberg Slim

Iceberg Slim is writing the tale of another character from an era gone by.  Set in Chicago, Otis Tilson hails from a family of five from Mississippi.  The family survived on a sharecropper’s plantation where they earned “forty cents for every hundred”. His father was also the plantation preacher.

Against the fathers’ wishes, his mother convinced the family to move to Chicago and it all went downhill from there. 

This is an explosive account of a black male who likes to dress as a woman and be treated like a woman.  He attributes his lifestyle to his mother who has her own demons and I can’t even understand what’s going on in her mind!
