Robert M. Pirsig

Does anyone know if Pirsig (the author of the seventies classic "Zen and
the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and the newer "Lila") is working on
or even planning to write another book? I truly loved his style and
philosophy and any information would be greatly appreciated.

Reply through email as well, if possible. Thank you.

I was lucky enough to exchange email with the great man about a year ago
(no I can't give out his address) and at that time he didn't seem to have
plans for another book. His main concern seemed to be that many people
had misunderstood Lila and he thought it was because the publishers had
cut large chunks of it. For a while he seemed really excited by the
Internet. I think it was because he saw it as a way to publish more about
Lila ie the stuff that was cut because it wasn't commercial enough. But
then he suddenly lost interest saying he felt egotistical creating a
website about himself.

Other than that I know he travelled round China last year and wrote some
articles about it, but I don't know where they were published.
