[MD] guidebook

[Ant McWatt]

SA asked Gav October 3rd 2006:

"Is [the "Guidebook to Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Ron Di 
Santo & Thomas J. Steele] really that informative, and credible?  Is it 
right on track with ZMM and Lila?"

Ant McWatt comments:

Yes (at least as far as ZMM is concerned) and is actually is a damn good 
introduction to philosophy (both East Asian and Western) in its own right.  
It can be purchased (secondhand) from alibris.com for only $5:

When Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was first 
published in 1974, it caused a literary sensation. An entire generation was 
profoundly affected by the story of the narrator, his son, Chris, and their 
month-long motorcycle odyssey from Minnesota to California. A combination of 
philosophical speculation and psychological tension, the book is a complex 
story of relationships, values, madness, and, eventually, enlightenment.

Ronald DiSanto and Thomas Steele have spent years investigating the 
background and underlying symbolism of Pirsig's work. Together, and with the 
approval of Robert Pirsig, they have written a fascinating 
reference/companion to the original

Guidebook to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance serves as a 
metaphorical backpack of supplies for the reader's journey through the 
original work. With the background material, insights, and perspectives the 
authors provide, Guidebook to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is 
destined to become required reading for new fans of the book as well as 
those who have returned to it over the years.
