Where does Pirsig say truth or objective reality cannot be known? 

[Krimel]
You could try the paragraph above. I know there are a few big words there.
Try sounding them out. Notice the part about "Then one doesn't seek the
absolute Truth." And the part about "One can then examine intellectual
realities the same way one examines paintings in an art gallery, not with an
effort to find out which one is the 'real' painting, but simply to enjoy and
keep those that are of value."

This is a really like postmodern argument here coming from an English
teacher... Is this starting to come together for you now? That last bit is
the part that means that if HipHop floats your boat it's as good as
Shakespeare. Especially, if you don't really care much for Shakespeare.
