at the time of its publication, christopher lehmann-haupt, in his book review for the new york times wrote,









































i now regret that i lack the expertise in philosophy to put mr. pirsig's ideas to a proper test, for this book may very well be a profoundly important one—a great one even—full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas. i just don't know. but whatever its true philosophical worth, it is intellectual entertainment of the highest order.
