Robert Pirsig meets Jack Kerouac
ZAMM � ON THE Route:
Abstruse
Cult �road� novels by Robert Pirsig and Jack Kerouac share certain aspects and in other ways are quite distinct in terms of their respective writer�s intentions. This essay examines where the boundary meets and where it diverges.
By James Forrester
ENGL 5201H: Travel Writing Autumn 2014 Revised September, 2015
Pirsig�southward Pilgrims and the Crush Generation
Robert Pirsig�south Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is the most widely read philosophy book ever written, with more than 5 meg copies circulating world-wide. Its sudden, unexpected success in 1974, after 121 publishers rejected the manuscript is a record which still stands today.
Subsequently ZAMM (equally some of its readers refer to it) has inspired a number of other books every bit diverse as 2005�s Riding with Rilke by Canadian academic Ted Bishop and the 2009 championship Shop Class every bit Soul Craft past professor and motorcycle store possessor Mathew B. Crawford. Curiously neither writer acknowledges Pirsig, who in plow owes a debt to Jack Kerouac�due south On the Road; 1 as does every modernistic writer who borrows this framework. (Unless you lot consider Pilgrim�due south Progress, Don Quixote, Canterbury Tales, Beowulf or Homer�southward Odyssey every bit the origin of the �road� narrative).
ZAMM is a long narrative essay, a moving story nearly a father and son, a journey of re-discovery and a painful psychological exploration of the after furnishings of mental illness. The western U. Southward. motorbike journeying described in the book actually took place in the summer of 1968 and the names of the participants are not disguised as they were in Jack Kerouac�s On the Route. It�s an autobiographical non-fiction novel. The narrator refers to his former self as Phaedrus.
In the opening chapter, Pirsig explains the principle method he intends to use in the discourse:
What is in mind is a sort of Chautauqua � that�s the simply proper noun I tin can call back of for it - like the travelling tent-testify Chautauqua that used to movement across America, this America, the one we are now in, an old fourth dimension serial of popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve the listen and bring culture and enlightenment to the ears and thoughts of the hearer. The Chautauquas were pushed bated by faster-paced radio, movies and TV, and it seems to me the modify was not entirely an improvement. 2
Pirsig, in the foreword to the 25th anniversary of the publication, quotes President Teddy Roosevelt (who attended the NY Chautauqua in 1905) equally describing Chautauquas as �the about American thing in America.� 3
Chautauqua Institution Meeting Tent: 100 Twelvemonth Ceremony Celebrated By United states Stamp
Chautauqua Festivals, 1874 �
To provide some background on Pirsig�s cultural model, hither are some details about the advent of the Chautauqua, which appeared in 1874 on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in western New York State, southward of Buffalo. The annual summer consequence was founded by Methodist Bishop John Vincent and businessmen including Canadian Hart Massey. In fourth dimension, this original site spawned a m independent touring Chautauquas in both the U.Due south. and Canada starting in 1904. The New York Chautauqua is still in operation today and the U.Due south. Post, by coincidence, honoured the Chautauqua�s 100th anniversary in 1974 with a commemorative stamp.
While it was founded by Methodists, the institution took a not-denominational approach in its programming, and in time the Chautauqua became more of an entertainment forum and adult educational activity institution with the formation of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circumvolve in Baronial, 1878.
Sheilagh Jameson�southward Chautauqua in Canada indicates that Bishop Vincent, the architect of the CLSC projection, �instituted several ways of projecting the success of the summer assembly over the winter months � whereby direction was provided for habitation reading and written report groups � an antecedent of literary societies and book clubs flourished in American towns.� four Vincent�south plan sounds remarkably similar to the Mechanics Institutes which became developed education schools and eventually public libraries.
Robert Pirsig�southward ZAMM Chautauqua.
Pirsig�s Chautauqua is virtually �quality� and he uses the motorbike itself as a metaphor for his views. The Metaphysics of Quality is the name given to Pirsig�s arroyo in both Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and his second novel Lila: An Inquiry into Morals (1991), which was not as successful in terms of sales, merely does aggrandize on his theories. MOQ draws upon Eastern thought, fused with Native American ceremonies and the work of Yale professor F. S. C. Northrop in his book The Meeting of East and West: An Inquiry Apropos World Understanding (1946). Pirsig adapted the ZAMM title from a 1948 German book, �Zen in the Art of Archery� and borrowed the subtitle from Northrop�southward work.
Richard Rodino in his essay called �The Matrix of Journeys in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance� independent in the Guidebook to Zen and the Fine art of Motorcycle Maintenance analyzes why the novel was successful:
Now, in that location is little incertitude that we are meant to endorse in theory most of the narrator�s conclusions. But Zen [Pirsig�due south ZAMM] is non just a series of [Chautauqua] lectures, nor is it a single, unified journey. One way to understand how it creates its meaning is to think of the dissimilar plot developments as three simultaneous journeys, which create constant tensions between the 1000 and exciting progress of Pirsig�south theorizing and the accelerating failure of his motions towards sanity and fatherliness. The book as a whole is greater that the lectures it contains; Pirsig�s trip is much more than complicated than just following the road to a concept of Quality. five
Contrasting Robert Pirsig�s ZAMM with Jack Kerouac�due south On The Road.
At that place are common links betwixt ZAMM and On the Road; both novels describe journeys initially taken westward (the general direction of American migration). Each work has a narrator who describes the journey and characters met �on the route.� Both authors are promoting a Zen Buddhist world view mixed with other religious and philosophical elements; Native American peyote ceremony in the case of Pirsig and Kerouac�s deeply rooted Catholicism.
On a personal level each writer struggled with his own mental health. Pirsig spent time in a psychiatric hospital afterwards existence diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he received daze treatments. Kerouac received an honourable discharge from the U. S. Navy in 1943 due to �schizoid tendencies� and suffered a nervous breakdown in 1960 at Lawrence Ferlinghetti�s Big Sur cabin, while trying to bargain with sudden fame and his increasing alcoholism.
ZAMM and On the Road were both rejected by multiple publishers, and Kerouac would have to await seven years between the appearance of his offset novel The Town and the Urban center in 1950 and the eventual success of his 2d.
On the Road describes Kerouac�s life criss-crossing America starting time in 1947 and the diverse characters he meets along the style. As early as 1948 he began writing, using the diaries, messages and journals he kept of his travels. All of Kerouac�s novels are autobiographical and could be considered as �roman a clef�. In the Preface to Large Sur, his most autobiographical novel, Kerouac explains that all his writings �are just chapters in the whole work which I phone call the Duluoz Fable ... The whole matter forms one enormous comedy, seen through the optics of poor Ti Jean (me), otherwise known as Jack Duluoz �� 6
In that location was an assumption, due to the free-wheeling life style of On the Route, that Kerouac was a liberal minded hedonist. Nevertheless, Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac was in fact of Quebecois ancestry and remained a devoted bourgeois Catholic who adored his female parent (and lived with her for large parts of his life). Not exactly what you�d expect from a founder and icon of both the Shell and Counterculture generations. Many of Kerouac�south friends and associates were gay and in spite of his three marriages Kerouac seems to have been deeply conflicted virtually his own sexuality. Neal Cassady was opening bi-sexual as was William S. Burroughs. Kerouac grew up in Lowell, MA speaking Joual (Quebecois French) and he wrote in his start language during his early years as a author. A Quebec announcer discovered in 2007 some 200 pages of his writings in French amidst Kerouac�s literary archive, including an early on section of On the Road titled Sur le chemin. vii
During an intense three week menstruum in April, 1951 Kerouac (perchance fueled by coffee and Benzedrine) typed the manuscript of On the Road using a continuous 120 foot roll of teletype paper with no paragraphs or formatting. This became known as the �coil�. Viking Printing made an editorial decision in 1957, when the manuscript was submitted, to use pseudonyms for all the major characters; so Allan Ginsberg was Carlo Marx, William S. Burroughs became Old Balderdash Lee, Neal Cassady was Dean Moriarty and Jack Kerouac (the narrator) was transformed into Sal Paradise. John Clellon Holmes, a poet and friend of Kerouac published the first �Shell� novel Go in 1952 and Kerouac appears in this �roman a clef� as Gene Pasternak with Neal Cassady as Hart Kennedy. The �novel� depicts the same circle of friends as On the Route and some of the same events. 8
Matt Theado in Understanding Jack Kerouac examines what makes Kerouac�southward style unique:
Kerouac�south work was different from that of any contemporary American author�s; influenced past James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and jazz, he developed his ain native American wording and his ain method of layering pregnant upon meaning � In 1953, Kerouac outlined the core features of his technique in a short slice called �The Essentials of Spontaneous Prose� � The first section recalls the habit of Impressionist painters such as Cezanne and Renoir who lugged their palettes and easels out of the studios so they could paint landscapes with immediacy and from straight observation. 9
In 1967, The Paris Review sent poet Ted Berrigan to interview Kerouac who was back living in his hometown Lowell, MA. In response to the question �What encouraged you to use the spontaneous� style in On the Road?� Kerouac replies:
I got the idea for the spontaneous manner of On the Route from seeing how skillful sometime Neal Cassady wrote his letters to me, all first person, fast, mad, confessional, completely serious, all detailed, with real names in his case � merely I got the flash from his style � we both got the secret of LINGO in telling a tale and figured that was the only fashion to limited the speed and tension and ecstatic tomfoolery of the age � Is that plenty? 10 (108 -109)
Regina Weinreich in The Spontaneous Poetics of Jack Kerouac: A Study of the Fiction observes:
During this �road� or transitional period, Kerouac was in fact evolving his philosophy of spontaneous composition, that spontaneous bop prosody which he wished to develop through each subsequent creation. Kerouac�south philosophy is, moreover, ane which involves a discovery of language through a new definition of construction. Each novel subsequent to On the Road is an endeavor to redefine structure equally it solves formal problems through the discovery of resourceful properties of language. Thus the quest for language becomes the solution to Kerouac�southward problem of form, with language itself condign the object of the quest motif from Kerouac�s perspective. xi
Kerouac is associated with the Beat Generation of writers which includes William Southward. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg; an clan that he was not entirely comfy with, in spite of the fact that he is credited with using the term first in Feb. 1949. Past contrast Pirsig is not necessarily associated with either the �Beats� or the �Hippies� of the 1960s. Both writers became increasingly reclusive in response to their fame and obsessive fans; the advantage going to Pirsig who turned 87 on Sept. 6th this twelvemonth, while Kerouac died in Saint petersburg, Florida October 21st, 1969 (age 47) of alcohol related hemorrhaging. (One year subsequently his pal Neal Cassady was institute dead abreast a railway track in Mexico at age 41). 12
The curlicue of On the Road was purchased in 2001 by Jim Irsay, owner of the NFL Indianapolis Colts for $2.5 1000000. It later on went on bout to galleries and museums in the Us and Europe from 2004 to 2012. In 2012 a feature film version of the novel was released, directed past Walter Salles. Unfortunately, the film did non live upwards to the promise of the managing director�s excellent film The Motorcycle Diaries based on Che Guevara�due south travels in South America.
While both novels could be considered �cult classics� and both have been �in print� since the day they were published, it�southward on the anniversary of that appointment that the titles take on a new life. The fiftieth ceremony of On the Road saw two editions published in 2007, including The Original Gyre text released by Viking Printing, with a selection of essays. That year The Library of America published a handsome edition of all Kerouac�south Road Novels, 1957-1960, with selections from his travel journals and a detailed chronology.
2014 marked the 40th ceremony of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance existence published. There was a new edition and an afterword by Robert Pirsig which provides the author�s perspective on why it was a success:
Culture-begetting books challenge cultural value assumptions and often do so at a time when the culture is irresolute in favour of their challenge. The books are not necessarily of high quality. Uncle Tom�s Cabin was no literary masterpiece but it was a culture-bearing volume. It came at a time when the entire civilization was well-nigh to turn down slavery � The success of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance seems the outcome of this civilisation-bearing phenomenon. The involuntary shock treatment described here is against the law today. It is a violation of man liberty. The culture has changed. thirteen
Pirsig Pilgrims: An Apt Moniker Created by ZAMM�due south Gennie DeWeese.
On the 40th anniversary of the original 1968 motorcycle journey described in the book, Canadian journalist Mark Richardson retraced the Zen route on his motorbike and wrote the book Zen and Now: On the Trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. In following the Zen road, Richardson joined a group of riders who are known as �Pirsig Pilgrims.� Most of these riders have read the novel multiple times before the text became clear to them. On his web site Richardson responds to a question about his link to the pilgrimage and why riders undertake it:
A: The people who follow this route all do so for very personal reasons. I�grand no exception. Before I set out, I�d hoped in that location may be a book at the end of information technology and and then I kept detailed notes, but first and foremost, I made the road trip considering I hoped information technology would assistance in some mode to redirect my life into a more than interesting direction. Also, I had wanderlust afterward years of not traveling while raising a young family unit, and I simply wanted to get abroad for a while, as I�d done nineteen years before on essentially the same motorbike � the prospect of a long, solitary motorcycle road trip seemed fabled. Others accept written about their trip. 14 (Web.)
December 7-viii, 2012 Montana State Academy (where Pirsig taught creative writing from 1959 to 1961) organized a �Chautauqua� as a celebration of Robert G. Pirsig and many of the �Pirsig Pilgrims� participated. The accompanying short version of the video shot at that event provides an impression of how Pirsig�s writing has afflicted his readers:

Lee Glover
Michael Becker, [a MSU Montana Mountains & Minds Writer, not] 1 of the organizers, wrote an commodity in the MSU mag called Mountains & Minds outlining the motivation for the pilgrims and quoting one of the most dedicated, Lee Glover of Boise, Idaho. Lee has been working on a documentary about ZAMM for a number of years. His experience may be representative of this group of readers who movement beyond normal boundaries and take their reading to another level of understanding:
Glover picked up a copy of Zen at a garage auction in 2005. He read the offset half and was non impressed, and then, like many people, he ready it aside. A few years later, Glover accustomed early on retirement from his technology job. While searching for his next big thing, he rediscovered his re-create of Zen. After he learned virtually Pirsig's insanity, it all clicked. "A great work of literature draws people in for various reasons," Glover, 51, said. "I think that book is an incredible case of different people deriving different meanings from something that resonates with them in some profound way."
Pirsig took his trip in 1968, the aforementioned twelvemonth Glover'southward father, suffering from his own mental breakup, was sent to prison for armed robbery. That slim connexion resonated with Glover, growing from a lone thought, to his own Zen pilgrimage, then to a three-yr film projection. "The volume described my life," he said. "It sounds weird to say, just literally, figuratively and philosophically, it describes my life growing upwards." What started as a unproblematic travel motion-picture show became a major projection, entwining his father-son relationship with the one portrayed in Zen. Glover has since interviewed more than a dozen Pirsig Pilgrims, researchers and scholars almost the book. "Journeys of life are pretty important," he said. "Take a journey similar that, and who knows what might happen? It might change your life." xv
Notes:
1. It was recently pointed out to me, that Robert Pirsig does acknowledge the influence of Kerouac during an interview contained in Anthony McWatt�s excellent 2008 documentary On the Road with Robert Pirsig. Pirsig says: " I only wanted liberty [like the Hippies] I was of the generation of Jack Kerouac.
On the Road impressed me greatly. I lived a fleck of that life drifting around the West; down to United mexican states and and so coming dorsum. I got tired of all the 'do nothing' jobs and I decided to teach.�

3. Many authors use this quotation incorrectly, citing other books as the source and implying that it is a direct quote from Roosevelt. However, I tracked downward the originally source of this quotation. �Teddy� Roosevelt�south niece Eleanor Roosevelt, in her syndicated column My Day, August 23rd, 1937 wrote: �Chautauqua is an extraordinary place. I call up my uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt, once called it the virtually American thing in America.�

I followed upwards with an email to Chautauqua Archivist Jon Schmitz (Trent Academy �80) and received this response on Wed. July 29th:
When Teddy Roosevelt came to Chautauqua in 1905, he said. �[Chautauqua is] a gathering that is typically American in that it is typical of America at its best.��
The paraphrase by Eleanor Roosevelt rather than actual 1905 quotation is what has been circulating in print and online.

This �trip� is celebrated in Tom Wolfe�s book, �Electric Absurd-assist Acrid Test� (1968) and the footage was used in a 2011 documentary moving-picture show �The Magic Trip�.

Appendix 1:
In addition to Jack Kerouac�s On the Road non-fiction novel, I would speculate that John Steinbeck�s route narrative/novel Travels with Charley (1962) may have had some influence on Robert Pirsig�due south work. Steinbeck�s travel narrative was initially published as a three part essay in Holiday magazine under the championship �In Quest of America�, and afterward expanded with a quaternary part describing his southern journeying through Texas where he had many family connections.
"In Quest of America," part one. Vacation 30, no 1 (July 1961): [26], 27-33, 79-85.
"In Quest of America," part two. Holiday 30, no. 6 (Dec. 1961): 60-65, 116-18, 120-21, 124, 126-28, 130-31, and 134-36.
"In Quest of America," role iii. Holiday 31, no. ii (Feb. 1962): 58-63, 122.
Holiday Magazine: John Steinbeck�due south "In Quest of America," Three Parts Appeared In These 4 Issuers.
The book was released past Viking Printing on July 27th, 1962 months before Steinbeck was to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Information technology was taken at face value as an authentic �non-fiction� book describing bodily encounters with Americans of all walks of life. It was only on the 50th anniversary of the original 1960 journey in 2010 that journalists began to re-examine the road that Steinbeck described. A retired investigative journalist, Bill Steigerwald, retraced the journeying stopping at all the locations mentioned in the book. He created a timeline of the Steinbeck trip and concluded that there were �discrepancies with the book�s account�. Steigerwald also examined the original 1962 manuscript in the Morgan Library and discovered that the Viking editor had eliminated the presence of Elaine Steinbeck (who accompanied him on big sections of the bout) in favour of a �human and his dog� story. Ironically, Steinbeck himself gives a hint at the true nature of the publication with the following text:
�And all of a sudden the United States became huge across belief and incommunicable to ever cantankerous. I wondered how in hell I�d got myself mixed upwards in a project that couldn�t be carried out. It was like starting a novel.�
(p. 20, Steinbeck Centennial Edition, Travels With Charley. 2002)
Another writer, Pecker Barich published �Long Fashion Domicile: On the Trail of Steinbeck�southward America� besides in 2010. He�s quoted in the NY Times that:
"I'chiliad fairly certain that Steinbeck made upward most of the book. The dialogue is and so wooden. Steinbeck was extremely depressed, in really bad health, and was discouraged past everyone from making the trip. He was trying to recapture his youth, the spirit of knight-errant. But at that point he was probably incapable of interviewing ordinary people. He�d become a celebrity and was more than interested in talking to Dag Hammarskjold and Adlai Stevenson.� '''
