    Pirsig he say: "I did know about the lila of Hindu mythology and have
    attended Ram Lila celebrations in India, but I never consciously connected
    it with the Lila of the book."
    (Lila's Child, annotation 113)

    There is a discussion about the beat influence in the book, but Pirsig
    doesn't comment on it directly, I don't think.
