Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals is written from a third-person omniscient point of view, which allows the narrator to penetrate the thoughts and minds of all characters. Pirsig utilizes the English language to its fullest, and in many cases, the words that he chooses may seem unnecessarily intellectual, but when considered in context, are the exact word for the occasion. The novel is broken into three "parts," containing 32 total chapters.
