This review is from: Doctor Sax and the Great World Snake: A Multimedia Experience (Hardcover)
It's about time something like this was done. Kerouac would have been proud of this presentation of his book "Dr. Sax". Lowell, the Merrimack River and Kerouac's childhood visions of dark, comic book characters and other "concentrations of evil" are brought to life in this "golden age of radio" style production of Kerouac's "Dr. Sax". Recently produced, voices include Lawrence Ferlinghetti as The Wizard, Robert Hunter as Dr. Sax, and Jim Carroll does a wonderful job as Jacky Duluoz among many others. Music by John Medeski of Martin, Medeski and Wood. Included are 2 Audio CD's and a book (illustrated screenplay).

The sweetness and warmth of Kerouac's writing as interpreted by a shaky junkie-voice is incredibly distracting. One day someone will make a quirky film out of this, my suggestion is to read the screenplay and don't bother with the discs.
