Hi Ian
The lecture was given at the Association of Humanistic Psychology
Conference (titled "Values - The Heart of the Matter") held in San Diego
in 1993. The tapes of the lecture are available to purchase from the
Conference Recording Services website (I was made aware of the tapes by
Mark Maxwell). As far as I can tell from the tapes, Pirsig was invited
to give the talk by a guy called Chip Baggett who seems to be an
acquaintance.
The transcription is my own. I have only transcribed excerpts as much of
the lecture is taken directly from ZMM and LILA. Pirsig has checked my
transcription for errors (thanks to Anthony McWatt).
The lecture has some really good parts, particularly where he holds Q&A
sessions with the audience, when he shares personal recollections about
the time period covered in ZMM and when he talks about the creative
problems he had writing LILA. He is a good speaker and comes across as
genuine, passionate and amusing.
I'm glad you found the excerpts interesting.
Regards
Paul
