In David Lynch: Beautiful Dark, author Greg Olson explores the surreal
intricacies of the director's unique visual and visceral style not only
in his full-length films but also his early forays into painting and
short films, as well as his television landmark, Twin Peaks. This
in-depth exploration is the first full-length work to analyze the
intimate symbiosis between Lynch's life experience and artistic
expressions: from the small-town child to the teenage painter to the
60-year-old Internet and digital media experimenter.
