Classic & Older Gothic
by Robert M. Pirsig
A father and son's motorcycle journey across America becomes a profound philosophical investigation into the nature of quality, technology, and classical versus romantic understanding. Pirsig weaves together travelogue, personal crisis, and epistemological inquiry in a genre-defying meditation. The narrative explores the dissolution between the narrator and his past self, Phaedrus, whose obsessive pursuit of truth led to madness and institutional commitment.
