About the Author

Iceberg Slim's 1967 novel Trick Baby introduced the theme of children born to prostitutes as a subject of literature. Son of a Whore takes the question to a different time and class and develops its more comic aspects. Michael Johnson, author of Son of a Whore, is a native of San Francisco's East Bay. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, he burned his diploma in an act of protest.
