The book "Zen and Now" by Mark Richardson retraces Pirsig's route: http://www.zenandnow.org/ http://www.zenandnow.org/ Many people took Pirsig's quip in the forward about the book not being factual about motorcycles too literally: "What follows is based on actual occurrences. Although much has been changed for rhetorical purposes, it must be regarded in its essence as fact. However, it should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodox Zen Buddhist practice. It's not very factual on motorcycles, either."
