You Can't Win by Jack Black, as published in a new edition by Feral House (Port Townsend, Washington, US) in 2013. This differs in content from the 2000 AK Press and 1988 AMOK Press editions, both of which add material to the core text of the 1926 edition. This edition includes an essay by Donald Kennison and illustrations by Joe Coleman (including the cover art). Design by D. Collins.
William S. Burroughs contributes the foreword to this edition (as printed in the 1988 AMOK Press edition) and a blurb to the rear cover.
This was one of Burroughs' favorite literary works.
