Guidebook to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

When Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was published in 1974, it caused a literary sensation. The story of the narrator, his son Chris, and their month-long motorcycle odyssey from Minnesota to California profoundly affected a generation. The book combines philosophical speculation and psychological tension, exploring relationships, values, madness, and enlightenment.

Ron Di Santo and Tom Steele, with Pirsig’s approval, wrote a fascinating reference/companion to the original. Guidebook to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance serves as a metaphorical backpack of supplies for readers’ journey through the original work. It provides background material, insights, and perspectives, making it a great read for new fans and those who have returned to the book.
