From the most famous of the Beat writers, the semi-autobiographical
novel of growing up between dreams and nightmares in early
twentieth century Massachusetts, now reissued following Kerouac's
centenary celebrationA haunting novel of deeply felt adolescence,
Dr. Sax is the story of Jack Duluoz, a French-Canadian boy growing
up in Kerouac's own birthplace, the dingy factory town of Lowell,
Massachusetts. There, Dr. Sax, with his flowing cape, slouched hat,
and insinuating leer, is chief among the many ghosts and demons
that populate Jack's fantasy world. Deftly mingling memory and
dream, Kerouac captures the accents and textures of his boyhood in
Lowell in this novel of a cryptic, apocalyptic hipster phantom that
he once described as "the greatest book I ever wrote, or that I
will write."
