5.0 out of 5 stars Someone lurks in the woods..., 30 Jul 2004

By	"kdonn2410" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doctor Sax (Modern classic) (Paperback)

Kerouac claimed Doctor Sax to be his favourite amongst his many fine works and it is easy to see why. 'On the road' was the epitome of his road-trip stories and though each was a gripping read, you know pretty much what to expect. Doctor Sax, however, is one of the rare occasions where Kerouac chose to focus on another aspect of his life: his childhood.

Doctor Sax another chapter in the life story of familiar alter-ego Jack Duluoz. Jack keeps busy by playing imaginative games with his mates or by himself, growing up in his french-canadian family. As the many tales of fun and mischief unfold, mysterious accounts of the enigmatic Doctor Sax and Count Condu give an insight of the magical dreams and imagination of Jack, leading up to what is a fantastic ending.

The imagery in Doctor Sax is the key feature and of course, Kerouac is no stranger to writing like this. Though not quite as plot or event driven as 'On the Road' or 'Desolation Angels', this book more than makes up for its varying changes in pace by its colourful characters and purely fantastical sequences towards the end. Doctor Sax is Kerouac's masterpiece...
