各界推薦 Review“An unforgettable trip.” — Time“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance sold millions of copies and made Pirsig a reluctant hero to generations of intellectual wanderers…Zen was an instant classic — a work of literature that captured the spirit of its time and retained its appeal long after the hippie movement had faded.” — Washington Post“A touchstone. … Pirsig’s plunge into the grand philosophical questions of Western culture remained near the top of the bestseller lists for a decade and helped define the post-hippie 1970s landscape.” — New York Times“The truly great road trip novel. … Many former angsty teens will surely fondly recall their own dog-eared, heavily underlined copies of Pirsig’s book, and the initial joy that accompanied reading something that felt so specifically personal and yet so urgently universal. … Zen’s ongoing reprints, its devoted fan base, and the countless road trips and pseudo-spiritual journeys it’s inspired are indicative of the book’s ongoing appeal.” — GQ“Inspired college classes, academic conferences and a legion of 'Pirsig pilgrims' who retrace the anguished, cross-country motorcycle trip at the heart of his novel.” — Los Angeles Times“Profoundly important...full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas.” — New York Times“The book is inspired, original. . . . The analogies with Moby-Dick are patent.” — The New Yorker“It is filled with beauty. . .a finely made whole that seems to emanate from a very special grace.” — Baltimore Sun“A miracle . . . sparkles like an electric dream.” — The Village Voice
