Greg Olson, author of David Lynch: Beautiful Dark, the essential book
on Lynch's life and art, has resided in the Twin Peaks region of the
Northwest for decades, and David Lynch spent youthful years in the
Northwest; both of their fathers were woodsmen. Lynch believes that the
world hums with spirituality, and over a thirty-year span Lynch and Mark
Frost created forty-eight hours of Twin Peaks TV and film, hypnotic
cinematic music immersed in the depths and divine heights of human
nature, an artistic song of the forest, America, the world, the cosmos.
David Lynch is an international icon of visionary artistic innovation,
humanistic thought and philanthropy, and spiritual exploration, and
Twin Peaks: The Return is his magnum opus, a mytho-poetic summation of
his deepest beliefs and concerns. Author Olson, in his
characteristically intimate and personal way, traces the Twin Peaks
currents of Lynch's emotional-visceral storytelling, themes, imagery and
sound: the way the artist and viewer share an electrified circuit of
mystery and understanding.
