A review by kaiare
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig

4.25

A book like none I’ve read before, blending a philosophical essay into the exploration of quality and its role in metaphysics, the joy and simplicity of a motorcycle trip and the internal struggle of a psychological breakdown. It was dry and difficult to read at times, complex and demanding of your full attention. Tragic but uplifting, its capture of the dynamic between Chris and Robert was unique, beautiful but lugubrious. I loved the exploration of Greek philosophy. Fuck Aristotle.
