Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was thirty-six years old when Doctor Sax was published in 1959.  As the author blurb on the jacket back notes, Kerouac had already published four books, including On The Road, before this, his fifth title.  In a relatively brief span of years since leaving Columbia College, Kerouac had done a lot of rambling and a lot of writing.
