Jack Black is an essentially anonymous figure (even his actual name is uncertain) who is recognised through association with William S. Burroughs . Although his philosophy on life was espically influential to Burroughs, who associated with similar characters in his early adulthood and mirrored the style of "You Can't Win" with his first published book, "Junkie", Black's writings also had a profound effect on the writings and lives of all the Beat Generation .

Jack Black eventally wrote some articles in newspapers and became an anti-prison activist. He was able to gain some amount of popularity through this, but it all subsided quickly. He died during the Great Depression due to a Drowning , widely believed to be a Suicide .
