WITH ADDITIONAL STORIES & UNEXPECTED DIGRESSIONS FROM DAVID LYNCH EXCLUSIVE TO THE AUDIOBOOK

David Lynch – co-creator of Twin Peaks and writer and director of groundbreaking films like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive – opens up about a lifetime of extraordinary creativity, the friendships made along the way and the struggles he faced – sometimes successful, sometimes not – to bring his projects to fruition.

Part-memoir, part-biography, Room to Dream interweaves Lynch's own reflections on his life with the story of those times, as told by Kristine McKenna, drawing from extensive and explosive interviews with ninety of Lynch's friends, family members, actors, agents, musicians and collaborators. Lynch responds to each recollection and reveals the inner story of the life behind the art.

Critic Reviews

"If you expected a David Lynch biography to be just like any other biography, you've never seen a David Lynch movie . . . Fascinating"
"A hybrid biography bulging with more than 100 interviews . . . it shows us Lynch the artist, the director, the lover, the child . . . Room to Dream provides contours and edges, brief splashes of insight and teasing tugs on the line. But the man at the centre remains a beautiful mystery . . . Illuminating"
"Lynch is the master of the perverse, the unsettling and the plain bonkers"
"Lynch's life as an artist is genuinely fascinating, and his observations on it are illuminating"
"Intriguing . . . David Lynch has never lacked room to dream, for which we and he must thank our lucky stars"
"David Lynch’s memoir illuminates the origins of his art . . . the humour and eccentricity of Mr Lynch’s own reminiscences and observations are the book’s main pleasure"
"Reassuringly unconventional . . . Engrossing . . . Lynch writes like he speaks. He's disarmingly direct, cheerfully profane and prone to bursts of giddy enthusiasm"
"Room to Dream is a memorable portrait of one of cinema's great auteurs . . . Provides a remarkable insight into Lynch's intense commitment to the "art life", from his painting, photography and music to furniture design"
"With the publication of Room to Dream, he has sought to reinvent the celebrity memoir"
"Playfully disrupts the genre of memoir-writing"
