Dear Tricia,
I don't know much beyond his books and their prefaces (hopefully, my colleagues do) - but what I have learned is that he was allegedly born on Sept. 1, 1928 in Minneapolis, Minnesota; that his father was a professor, and that several years after the publication of ZMM, his son was murdered.
I'm sorry that my information is so sketchy, but hopefully, others can provide more information. I suspect, however, that his two books are primarily historically factual in most respects.
Regards,
The Bard

Subject: MD Question...hopefully someone can help!
Well, I have been searching and searching for about 2 weeks and I have no been able to find what I am looking for. I know the books are 'semi-autobiographical', but for my English Class I need to write at most a page biography of Robert M. Pirsig. I have not been able to find ANYTHING, I know he is kind of secretive but this is crazy! :) Any timeline or information will be great, if any at all. Thank you so much
Tricia
