Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence: irony or symbolism?
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence:An inquiry into Val
What a DEEP book. It's moving if you ask me. It really gets you to question several things. The fact that it's a true account makes it that much better because the emotions are true. Some of the topics really got me to think about how it is in real life too. I love how he tells you what he's going to explain, and then he explains it, because it makes it so much easier to follow. I found the book quite entertaining and enlightening.
I'm still trying to figure out if there is any symbolism or irony in the account though. Any ideas? I'm thinking there has to be, but I just missed it
I think some irony may include something like the quote: "the real cycle youre working on, is yourself."
And how about the motorcycle as symbolism, symbolizing life
The buddha is in the engine of the motorcycle. That's the comparative thread throughout the book. The Journey of discovery on the road and in the soul.
That's the big symbolism being used in this story.

Motorcycle Art
anyone read 'zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance'? what was that all about then?
probably the most frustrating book i've ever read. the amount of times i nearly threw it out the window...i had to finish it though through some kind of morbid curiosity. i realised i'd skipped one too many philosophy lessons when i tried to work out what the funk he was banging on about. was this just a man in the throes of a nervous breakdown and bent on doing my head in? in short, it made me feel stupid. and sympathetic to the protagonists poor son who is essentially watching pops freak out while on a nice father and son holiday.
seriously, can someone tell me what that book was all about. I'm sure i missed the whole point of it. please note you are talking to a person with apparently limited iq
Not an easy read, but a rewarding one. There are two contrasting styles of motorcycle maintenance here, and two contrasting styles of living.
One style of motorcycle care, the authors, demands hands on action, personal and self-reliant. The other style, represented by the author's friend, involves taking the bike to the shop for maintenance/repair...leaving it to the experts.
One style of living demands introspection and analysis...questions that have the ability to drive one to madness. Another style is like living on cruise control...leaving the questions to others, the decisions to the "experts".
IMO, Persig, the author, is a bit too anal in his questioning and in his motorcycle care...some stuff I'll do, some I'll try, and some I leave to experts.
BTW, this book is based on fact...Persig did lose it a bit for awhile...but who hasn't?
