A story about Robert Pirsig
I met his great aunt once.
In Minnesota.
I didn’t meet him but I did sit in the front row at a reading – after my friends & I went to a coffee shop. Li – Young Lee showed up and stood behind us in line. It didn’t seem like the place to chit-chat. He had just finished signing tons of books. He seemed like he needed a break.
Early 90’s – London clothing store. He was talking to a woman & her five year old. Friendly. So I said hello – he complimented my hat.
I was introduced to him at a peace concert in Saint Paul, MN circa 1988. He seemed nice.
I’ve had two chances to meet him once at a hotel he was staying at – I knew someone who knew him & once backstage. I missed out on both – my fault.
Ah well.
