…. In The Conclusion To His Essay “Place, Vision, and Identity in Native American Literatures,” Professor Robert Nelson Discusses The Impact Of The Book Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance. => Nelson Writes: =>
….“I was especially intrigued by Pirsig's use of climate and geography as controlling metaphors for the intellectual topography ., by how conveniently changes in weather and landscape serve to telegraph or accompany changes in the drift and direction of the nameless narrator's own thinking. The topological analogy between landscape and vision .. in the texture of this novel … I thought, brought into question some of our century ’s-…-and our culture's--most cherished assumptions … about the primacy and autonomy of human consciousness. In Pirsig's text, the structure and motion of narrative consciousness seemed (and still seems) to me to depend as much on the physical landscape through which it moves, as on the currents of the intellectually mainstream ideas it retraces."
