Dr Sax Jack Kerouac 9780802130495 Books

This is not only my favorite book written by Kerouac, but one of my all time favorites. I read this book at least once every two years or so. That being said, I rarely recommend this book to others. It is not an easy read. The hardest obstacle to overcome is the style in which it is written. Kerouac was more interested in a poetic exploration of childhood rather than a clear exposition. I have a habit of continuing to read, listen, or watch even if I don't understand something. I figure I'll either figure it out on the way, or I'll catch up later. The first person I lent this book to returned it the next day, he stopped reading after two pages. It took me awhile to enter the world of Dr. Sax, but it was well worth the time. When I was young the line between fantasy and reality was fuzzy, and I see this book as exploring that relationship. I particularly enjoy that, as the story progresses, the fantasy world overtakes the more biographical elements. The next person I lent the book to returned it after a month. With it they gave me a page of notes, observations and questions.
If you love Kerouac, poetry, and have a flair for the abstract, then this is well worth your time. If you like reading maps and floor-plans masquerading as books, then stick with Michael Crichton and the like.

Dr Sax Jack Kerouac 9780802130495 Books Reviews

I pulled a 1959 copy of Doctor Sax off my shelf for my two-day hot springs retreat - I don't remember how I ended up with it, but the spine looked like it had never been cracked, despite some water and sun damage on the ends of the pages. I tore through it in less than two days -- Kerouac's prose rushes on in a torrent, I can surf it in my brain as quickly as my eyes take it in. Reading aloud to the cat named Elvis, I enjoyed the rhythm and the cadence of Kerouac's words even more.

The stories of his childhood - a brown bathrobe, a flood, scaring oneself silly with shadowy characters inspired by radio dramas, acting out a rich fantasy life (stealing swim trunks and scaring a friend as "The Black Thief") along with the flavor of French-Canadian French. The story focuses little on technology or current events - aside from the flood - and makes only one mention of racial segregation.

Despite the lack of current events -- the protagonists rich fantasy life reflects some kind of battles, heroes and villains, reflected in the current events of the time without really referring to those events -- more generalized than specific foes.

A fast fun read - definitely a different take on the same sort of privileged white male preadolescence in "Dandelion Wine" or other similar stories.
This book has two blank pages. It's defective.
I collect first editions, but purchased this one for my husband who is a big Kerouac fan. He really enjoys this book and I do as well.
I liked it but I was glad when I finally finished it. It was probably me, but I've always liked all his other works so I gave this a try.
This is the shroud of dark dreams and the mournful laugh of of the hidden and forgotten shade if our childhood. @_DrSax
Perfect copy
Great essential book, own most of Kerouacs work an for whatever reason always thought this wouldn't be very good...it's better than good, it's mindbending an breaks doors down, like visions of Neil but in a totally different way, an more accessible to the casual fan....and way better than old angel midnight....it's one of many of j.kerouacs finest moments
