Ian,
I note you stated in passing to Paul on the 19th:
“Your notes from Pirsig contrasting the styles of writing ZMM and Lila.
Really interesting. It's interesting to see them expressed, because I
believe it is apparent from analysis of the books. One of the reasons
incidentally (Ant) why I saw researching his biography and intents
(where he was coming from) at the time of writing, was much more than
mere ‘gossip.’”
Ant McWatt comments:
The reason the emphasis on “gossip” was put in the Introduction for the
robertpirsig.org website is to reassure Pirsig that the site bearing his
name is going to focus on philosophical issues rather than personal ones.
No criticism was meant about your blog website. If I thought it was indeed
just “gossip” there would be no link to it from robertpirsig.org nor would I
be quoting it at Platt. (As I did - ironically - on the very same day as
your comment!)
Best wishes,
Anthony.
