Zen and Now -
On the Trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
By Mark Richardson
To be published by Knopf, Sept. 2008

A journalist and motorcycle enthusiast – Mark Richardson – decides to
get on his bike and retrace the seminal journey taken by Robert
Pirsig, later immortalized in what has become a classic of
philosophical inquiry.

Since its original publication in 1968, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values has touched whole generations of
readers with its serious attempt to define 'quality' in a world that
seems indifferent to the responsibilities that quality brings. Mark
Richardson expands on Pirsig's journey with an investigation of his
own – to learn more about the enigmatic author of Zen and the Art and
to place his classic book in context. The result manages to be a
biography of Pirsig himself -- a discovery of an unknown life of
madness, murder and eventual resolution -- and a splendid meditation
on creativity and problem-solving, sanity and insanity.

Mark Richardson is the editor of the Wheels section of the Toronto Star.
Zen and Now is his first book.
