Jack Black (1871–1932) was a hobo and professional burglar. Born in 1871 in New Westminster, British Columbia, he was raised from infancy in the U.S. state of Missouri in the town of Maysville and eventually Kansas City. He wrote You Can't Win (Macmillan, 1926), a memoir or sketched autobiography describing his days on the road and life as an outlaw. Black's book was written as an anti-crime book urging criminals to go straight, but it is also his statement of belief in the futility of prisons and the criminal justice system, hence the title of the book. Jack Black was writing from experience, having spent thirty years (fifteen of which were spent in various prisons) as a traveling criminal and offers tales of being a cross-country stick-up man, home burglar, petty thief, and opium fiend.

  • جاك بلاك (بالإنجليزية: Jack Black)‏ هو كاتب سير ذاتية أمريكي، ولد في 1871 في فانكوفر في كندا، وتوفي في 1932. (ar)
  • Jack Black (1871 – 1932?) byl hobo a zloděj. Narodil se v v Kanadě, ale vyrůstal ve Spojených státech. Třicet let se toulal po USA a Kanadě a živil se krádežemi, přibližně polovinu té doby strávil v různých věznicích. Proslavil se poté, co dráhu zločince opustil a napsal knihu vzpomínek You Can't Win (1926; česky Nemáte šanci, 2013), která se stala bestsellerem. Jeho skutečné jméno je neznámé; svou knihu vydal pod jménem Jack Black. Kniha do značné míry ovlivnila spisovatele Williama Sewarda Burroughse, který ji poprvé četl v mládí a k pozdějšímu vydání napsal předmluvu. V roce 1932 zmizel; má se za to, že spáchal sebevraždu utonutím. Přestože převážnou část života strávil v USA, zůstával britským občanem. (cs)
