Oui Magazine published an interview with Persig (correct spelling) in their
Nov. 75 issue. (I found a copy at a local used book store last year.)

I don't recall much of what Persig said, but my general impression was that
he was living off his royalties and continuing to ponder the questions 
discussed in _Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_.

He said he didn't plan to write another book, and that he was very reclusive.
