Baradon люблю baradon — When I first read Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, I felt somewhat bewildered. I loved his passion, I loved the intensity of his relationships and his beliefs about life. And yet, I felt he was over his head, trying to build sanity on shaky ground. He desperately tried to shore up that foundation with his ideas of quality, but if he succeeded in solidifying the foundation, I for one was never convinced. I was prepared to let Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance slide into my hazy past, when I recently came across a memoir, Zen and Now by Mark Richardson, which offered to give me a guided tour of the earlier book. I jumped at the chance. I’m glad I did. Now, after reading Zen and Now, I feel vastly more understanding of Pirsig’s book, and I had a lovely journey with Richardson at the same time. Zen and Now is also a motorcycle ride, following as closely as possible to Pirsig’s original route, woven with a fun, intricate, and entertaining mix of Richardson’s own observations about life, motorcycles, small town American life, and a few other things. This interwoven structure is one of my favorite things about the book. Oh, one more thing. It was a sort of recounting of Richardson’s own mid-life crisis, and in a clever twist, his angst mirrored the soul searching pressure that drove Pirsig to hit the road. The book turned out to be a splendid meditation on creativity and problem-solving, sanity and insanity.
