Scarce Edition of Kerouac's Most Eccentric Novel


Dr. Sax

by Jack Kerouac

Ballantine Books, 1977

1st edition/2nd printing

mass market paperback

Among the shadowy doorways and brown tenements of Lowell, Massachusetts, Jack Duluoz grew up. Always lurking in the dark side of his mind is the shadow of Dr. Sax, cape flowing, slouch hat half-concealing a malevolent leer. He is but one of the ghosts and monsters that inhabit Jack's fantasy world, where memory and madness are intermixed in a mad universe waiting to erupt.
