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.

The 15+-hour-audiobook version is narrated by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna. The digital download is normally $29.95, but you can listen to it for free with a 30-day trial at Scribd, a digital library, e-book and audiobook subscription service that includes one million titles.
