David Lynch

Internationally renowned, David Lynch was America's premier purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema, television and the internet exposed the world to his highly personalised view of society. This book examines his oeuvre, from the cult surrealism of his debut feature

Eraserhead to his last feature

Inland Empire, considering the themes, motifs and stories behind his incredible feature films, shorts and internet projects. His series

Twin Peaks revolutionised TV and expanded the possibilities of what the medium could offer. This updated edition includes

Twin Peaks: The Return, his continuation of the series 25 years after the original had set the world alight.In Lynch's world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there's always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of

Lost Highway or the sedate determination of

The Straight Story, readers will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie and damn fine coffee.David Lynch is your guide to this other world… and this is your guide to David Lynch.
