Room to Dream: A Life in Art (David Lynch's Autobiography)

David Lynch is one of the most authentic directors of our time—sources of authority once called him “the most important film director of the present era” and “a Renaissance man of contemporary American independent cinema.” Over the years of his creative life, he developed his own unique cinematic style, dubbed “Lynchism.” This very word will be the first thing to come to mind when you read the first autobiography by David Lynch, written together with journalist Christina McKenna. Captivating, mesmerizing, philosophical, and in places surreal—the story of the master’s life resembles his films. Each chapter is split into two parts: Lynch’s reflections on one period of his life, and Christina McKenna’s look from the outside at that same period, since she also spoke with all of the director’s relatives, friends, and colleagues. The result is a portrait of the real David Lynch—a living person with his own fears and experiences—and you won’t be able not to fall in love with him.
