You Can't Win -- Jack Black

<p>A major influence on William S. Burroughs and other Beat writers, this lost classic was written by Jack Black, a drifter and small-time criminal. Born in 1872, Black hit the road at the age of 16 and spent most of his life as a vagabond. In this plain-spoken but colorful 1926 memoir, he recaptures a hobo underworld of the early twentieth century, a time when it was possible to pass anonymously from town to town. </p><p>Black's firsthand accounts of hopping trains, burglaries, prison, and drug addiction offer a compelling portrait of this seedy side of life a hundred years ago. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jack Black<br><b>Publisher:</b> Must Have Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/11/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.69lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781773237978<p></p>
