Robert M. Pirsig-Zen & The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance

Robert M. Pirsig wrote Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values over the course of four years while working full-time as a manual content writer. The novel's original manuscript was rejected over a hundred times before William Morrow and Company officially published it in 1974. When I first picked up the novel I thought it was a pragmatic story about a father and son's motorcycle trip from Minnesota to California. After reading the first few pages I quickly realized the author was embarking on a spiritual excursion filled with philosophical twists, packed with psychological demons and powered by the eternal love between a man and his son.

The narrator approaches the story slowly, as the tale is a mix of memoir, biography and complicated philosophy. The plot is broken up into three subplots, which each require attention to understand the overall concept that the author aims to achieve. The first subplot is the main story line-considering the 17-day motorcycle trip pushes the novel forward by giving it a systematic frame found in most novels. The second story is a philosophical musing about romantic emotivism and classical rationality. The third is a tale about a man trying to reclaim his identity after overcoming serious past struggles.
