woolfen's review against another edition
3.0
3.5 Stars.
A nice little book, taking many of Pirsig's correspondence over the decades and expounding upon the numinous connection to Buddhism he draws, as well as his concept of the monism of Quality. Interesting stuff - but, inevitably due to the post-humous nature of the collated works, a little scattered and without connecting tissue. Still a worthwhile read for any Pirsig fans.
