You Can't Win (ISBN 1902593022) is an autobiography by Jack Black. The book tells of his experiences in the hobo underworld, freight hopping around the still Wild West, becoming a highwayman and member of the yegg (criminal) brotherhood, getting hooked on opium, doing stints in jail, and escaping, often with the assistance of crooked cops or judges. America's lost history is revived in this book. The book was a best seller in 1926. It has recently been republished in the Nabat series of radical autobiographies, by AK Press. It was the favorite book of William Burroughs.
