Lila

In this best-selling new book, his first in seventeen years, author Robert M. Pirsig takes us on a poignant and passionate journey as mysterious and compelling as his first life-changing work. He uses a sailboat instead of a motorcycle to carry his philosopher-narrator Phaedrus down the Hudson River as winter closes in. Along the way he picks up a most unlikely travelling companion: a woman named Lila who in her desperate sexuality and oncoming madness threatens to disrupt his life.
