Particularly books that through flannel and charm
make points that puncture taboos, similar to the way
that 'Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance'
took on mental health issues among teachers-
including a teacher having a nervous breakdown-
where as Robert M. Pirsig (1928-2017) wrote around
a teacher having a breakdown he was lucid, humane,
gentle and perceptive when no other author
could approach the subject with the same finesse.
Even more he wrote about the recovery of the self
from a breakdown in a way no other author could,
and rarely has since to such inspiring effect.
