NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - **An unprecedented look into the
personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through
his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family
**
"Insightful . . . an impressively industrious and comprehensive
account of Lynch's career."--The New York Times Book Review
In this unique hybrid of biography and memoir, David Lynch opens up for
the first time about a life lived in pursuit of his singular vision, and
the many heartaches and struggles he's faced to bring his unorthodox
projects to fruition. Lynch's lyrical, intimate, and unfiltered personal
reflections riff off biographical sections written by close collaborator
Kristine McKenna and based on more than one hundred new interviews with
surprisingly candid ex-wives, family members, actors, agents, musicians,
and colleagues in various fields who all have their own takes on what
happened.
Room to Dream is a landmark book that offers a onetime all-access pass
into the life and mind of one of our most enigmatic and utterly original
living artists.

Praise for Room to Dream
**
"A memorable portrait of one of cinema's great auteurs . . . provides
a remarkable insight into [David] Lynch's intense commitment to the
'art life.' "--The Guardian**
"This is the best book by and about a movie director since Elia Kazan's
A Life (1988) and Michael Powell's A Life in Movies (1986). But
Room to Dream is more enchanting or appealing than those classics. . .
. What makes this book endearing is its chatty, calm account of how
genius in America can be a matter-of-fact defiance of reality that won't
alarm your dog or save mankind. It's the only way to dream in so
disturbed a country."--San Francisco Chronicle
