About
Written as a fictionalized autobiography, Robert M Pirsigs bestselling volume recalls a father and sons motorcycle journey through the American Northwest in the late 1960s. As they travel, prioritizing county and secondary roads over state highways, being aware of things and meditating on them, the narrative develops into a philosophical exploration of how to live better.
