In this haunting novel of intensely felt adolescence, Jack Kerouac tells the story of Jack Duluoz, a French-Canadian boy growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts. Dr. Sax, with his flowing cape, slouch hat, and insinuating leer, is one of the many ghosts that populate Jack's fantasy world. Kerouac captures the accents and texture of his boyhood as he relates Jack's adventures with this cryptic, apocalyptic hipster phantom.
