Beschreibung

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.
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.

Über den Autor

Jack Black (1871-1932) was an American author whose early life included years as a hobo and petty criminal in the western United States and Canada. After serving multiple prison sentences, he eventually left criminal life and recorded his experiences in You Can't Win. The memoir remains a notable primary account of transient and prison culture in the early twentieth century.
