From his nightmarish feature debut Eraserhead to his critically acclaimed Cannes success Mullholland Drive, David Lynch has consistently kept his audiences intrigued and captivated. They know that when they go to see a David Lynch film it will be unlike anything else produced in Hollywood.

Like a dream, his films have an internal logic that defies explanation: the fractured time of Lost Highway, the sexual psychosis of Blue Velvet or the otherworldliness of Twin Peaks. But even within these worlds of oddity and violence, Lynch still has time for emotion and for people.

The Pocket Essential David Lynch looks at the man and his work, on both the big screen and small. There's analysis, comment and an introductory essay that examines his themes and motifs. A handy reference section is also provided, should you want to know more.

So take a journey into the wild and weird worlds of David Lynch. From the dunes of Arrakis to the shadowy underbelly of Hollywood, from Victorian London to Lumberton U.S. and Big Tuna, Texas to party state Wisconsin, it's going to be a strange and wonderful trip.
