Notes The sequel to Zen & The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance. Reissue. Author Biography Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Robert M. Pirsig has achieved world fame and classic status for his iconic book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values. This was followed, seventeen years later, by Lila: An Inquiry into Morals, an updated version of which was published by Alma in 2006. Review Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was like a first child. Maybe that will always be the best-loved one. But this second child is the bright one. I think a lot of people will argue with some of the ideas in Lila. There may be controversy. But if people are still reading these two books a hundred years from now, I predict Lila will be the one they consider the more important - Robert M. Pirsig Review Quote The compendious and digressive qualities... keep you bumping through the pages... the voice of the narrator carries some of the folksy weight and salty wisdom of a Mark Twain.
