It's like spending a few hours with Lynch, hearing various musings and stories.

I found this book to be much like the experience of watching one of his movies, and to be clear, I am a fan of his movies. His voice is as unique in writing as it is in visual expression.

Listening to the audio book, read by David Lynch.

Just like Lynch's films, Catching The Big Fish is a little obtuse, a little scattered, a lot corny, and utterly earnest (all meant in the most positive way possible).

I knew this would be a weird book but, wow.
Here is one of the Chapters:
THE BOX AND THE KEY
I don’t have a clue what those are.
It’s almost as if someone said “David, you should write a book” and he replied, “OK, just give me some chapter titles and I’ll fill in the rest.”
I had to give 5 stars for the Bob’s Big Boy chapter alone.
So there is fun, quirky stuff like that. There is a lot of discussion of transcendental meditation. There is also a good amount of helpful advice.

I’m not much of a fan of David Lynch’s films or art, but this book was recommended to me because of how it talks about the role of meditation in creativity, and I really enjoyed it. It was also interesting to hear about the process of executing ideas for film and I especially loved when he talked about the power of meditation to bring about world peace.

A book with some nice meandering thoughts on meditation and film. I don’t agree with some of Lynch’s opinions, but the overall sentiment is good and warm, and he’s delightful in his optimism.
