| 1 | On Quality: An Inquiry Into Excellence | 2022 | Robert M. Pirsig | Buy |
This page covers Robert M. Pirsig’s collected works published outside his main Phaedrus novels. On Quality: An Inquiry Into Excellence appeared in 2022, five years after Pirsig’s death in 2017, and brings together previously unpublished writings that extend his lifelong exploration of what Quality means.
The collection includes letters, drafts, and lectures that show how Pirsig’s thinking evolved over the decades between Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and his later years. For readers already familiar with his two novels, it offers a closer look at the ideas he continued to develop privately throughout his life.
