Details
Description
A first printing of this tale of dreams and childhood fantasies, Doctor Sax.
- Jack Kerouac (American).
- New York: Grove Press, Inc, 1959.
- 246 pages.
- Bound in original grey cloth boards, with original unclipped dust jacket.
Written while living with William S. Burroughs in Mexico City, Doctor Sax is a prime example of Kerouac's "spontaneous prose" – a style of writing he compared to jazz music. Its setting and theme are unique among Kerouac's works, reflecting his own childhood through a "dark funhouse" mirror rather than the wild adult "years of Beats and bodhisattvas" (Lehman) he is best known for.
