Hello Bo and everyone
Thank you, Bo, for relaying Mr. Pirsig's message concerning Lila's
Child. I am more than thrilled and I hope all the contributors are as
well. Looking forward to seeing the letter if and when you receive
permission to publish.
Though Lila's Child is garnering some interest it is still incomplete
and I hope to begin working towards finishing it soon which will
necessitate my unsubscribing to the discussion groups; the level of
concentration the work requires demands my undivided attention. Maybe
one day soon we'll see Lila's Child in print.
Thanks again, Bo, and thank Robert Pirsig for taking his time to write
when you get a chance.
