From the introduction (in part): "Doctor Sax and the Great World Snake is a screenplay written by Jack Kerouac based on his novel Doctor Sax. Set in his hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts, it is grounded in Kerouac's real-life reflections on his childhood, expanded into a cosmology of vampires, wizards, and other imaginary characters. The illustrations by Richard Sala, artificer of dreams, draw the Doctor Sax underworld out from the darkness of Kerouac's childhood landscape, but not too far into the light. Strangely enough, it was the novel Doctor Sax that inspired a young Sala to seek out The Shadow's pulp mystery magazines, which proved to be a major influence on his style." The audio CD recording
