(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. -- The views expressed by me are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of any other individuals or organizations.
