ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE, Robert M. Pirsig's worldwide bestseller, published in 1974, holds a unique and unforgettable place in modern Western culture. Now in LILA, he brings us a new voyage, a poignant journey and passionate philosophical exploration, as crucial to the issues we confront in the nineties as ZEN was in the seventies.
Instead of a motorcycle, a sailing boat carries Phaedrus down the Hudson River as winter closes in. His travelling companion is Lila, a woman he has picked up in a riverside bar. This is the story of a clash of opposites - the philosophising, introspective Phaedrus, with the outgoing, sexually aggressive Lila - and it is their catastrophic-comic encounter that provokes a crisis in Phaedrus, forcing him to pose in human terms some of the most fundamental questions that face our times.
In LILA Robert M. Pirsig once again takes us on a breathtaking and exhilarating voyage into the heart of Western identity and destiny.
