You Cant Win by Jack Black audiobook.

Genre: biography

First published in 1926, You Cant Win is the hard-edged, darkly funny autobiography of Jack Black, a drifter and career thief who came of age in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Told in a blunt, conversational voice, Black traces his early fascination with the underworld, the mentors who school him in the craft of stealing, and the shifting code of honor that governs the road. From boxcars and flophouses to saloons, gambling rooms, and prison yards, he moves through a world where hunger, pride, and quick thinking decide who survives the night. But every score carries a cost: betrayals come fast, the law closes in without mercy, and the habits that keep him afloat also keep him trapped. As Black cycles between fleeting freedom and confinement, he begins to question whether a different kind of life is possible and what it would take to claim it. Part social history, part confession, You Cant Win is a vivid portrait of poverty, temptation, and the fight to outgrow the story you have been living.
