Under the headline Zen And The Art Of Driving A Motorcycle Into The Wall, page 239 in the current version, I write about Pirisig's masterpiece, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (1974), that I also quote extensively.
Here are three obituaries with somewhat different and interesting details.
