About this listen

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.

Room to Dream, room to breathe, and an excellent biography of the the greatest director since we lost Kubrick. Inspiring

A life well lived

The format is unique. The biography part and the recollections by David Lynch himself. Funny, moving and a heap of insight into Lynchs life, His breadth of work is too vast to try and encapsulate in a single volume, It conveys more about the mood and approach of Lynch who despite being a master of dark portrayals of strange other dimensions as a person is a very uplifting and inspiring guy to work with. If you're a Lynch fan you'll dig it. If you're looking for an introduction or more background check out this audio book.

Totally and Completely Wonderful

I have been a David Lynch fan for years and this book really was such a treat especially due to the fact I am a director myself. This book has many behind the scenes information from Lynch himself and many of the talented actors and production management he has worked with. This book has the most quirky original layout by which Kristine will speak then David will speak in which they both compliment each other. This book is for everyone even if you’re not aware of his movies or tv shows. There are a lot of great messages in this book. I also enjoyed the parts of the book where David speaks about TM. I was in the position of not having a job and being very depressed many years ago and the David Lynch Foundation sponsored me to learn Transcendental Meditation. A sacred art way of life that had been a part of my family for many years but I never had the chance to learn being younger age.

I’m short you will not be disappointed in this book 😊

Amazing book jam packed!! In a good way

Amazing Insight

I have to say that I never cared much for David Lynch but this book has turned me into a fan. It is very interestingly structured with alternating chapters, the first straight from the biography, the second is Lynch giving his take on what you have just read. This gives the audio version the edge because Lynch himself narrates his chapters, bringing them to life in an extraordinary way. Love David Lynch or hate him, I am willing to bet that after reading this book you will come out respecting him as a major and extremely important artist.

The scales fell from my eyes

Really interesting book. Fascinating character. The only problem is that he's so compelling to listen to that he makes the actual book sound less interesting.

Superb
