Emily Dickinson says:
I just saw Mark’s item about Hobo Soup, and it is absolutely wonderful! I’ve had a long standing interest in the ‘Way Of The Hobo’, and I thought you might be interested in the amazing autobiography ‘You Can’t Win‘ by Jack Black. This first person narrative contains plenty of stories and recipes about making ‘Hobo Soup’ and other amazing tidbits about the long gone Hobo lifestyle. There is also plenty of fantastic ‘Hobo Slang’. The dedication on the front free end paper is beyond amazing. As an aside, William Burroughs often cites Jack Black as a huge influence on his life and writing.
I reviewed You Can’t Win on my Mad Professor blog. It’s a fantastic book. Link
