Doom Fox by Iceberg Slim

This is the last novel written by Iceberg Slim, nee Robert Beck. 

Joe Allen is a heavyweight boxer who gets conned by beautiful women in more ways than one.  He ends up doing time all because his wife was cheating on him and he let his anger take control.  The other characters in this story have their own burdens to bear as Iceberg Slim writes about the ghetto and prostitution and hard times had by some and good times had by others.

I do wish that Mr. Beck was still alive. I understand from a documentary about his life the he changed his life around.   I would love to see what else he had to say and write about.  His writing is classic and raw and real from what he lived and saw throughout his life.
