Description

Doctor Sax is an autobiographical account of growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts, told through the fictional alter ego Jack Duluoz. Kerouac weaves together real people and events with fantastical figures to capture the sights, sounds, and textures of his childhood.

The book is a vivid and magical evocation of a boy's inner life, set against the backdrop of 1950s America. Written in 1952 while staying with William Burroughs in Mexico, Doctor Sax was Kerouac's favourite of all his books - a dark and intense exploration of the human experience.

With its unique blend of realism and fantasy, Doctor Sax offers a fascinating glimpse into Kerouac's formative years. This is a book that will appeal to readers interested in autobiographical fiction and the author's distinctive writing style.
