I loved it, aged about 20. Leila, not so much. It's a bit Marmite
(people I think should love it hate it and vice versa). ZAMM came into
my world just as I was figuring out (and mortified by) the fraud
academia is, and the breakdown of his character Phaedrus was
life-saving parable. His themes and ideas remain strong for me. The
article author seems jaded with it (no doubt the recent notes are
tedious and disappointing). Yes, Persig's style seems a bit laboured
now. But it's a book of its time. |
