Dick, the color pink, the Bible, Vedic literature, and Marvel superheroes.David Lynch is an international icon of visionary artistic innovation, humanistic thought and philanthropy, and spiritual exploration, and T\u003ci\u003ewin Peaks: The Return\u003c\/i\u003eis his magnum opus, a mythopoetic summation of his deepest beliefs and concerns. In \u003ci\u003eBlack Coffee Lightning: David Lynch Returns to Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, Greg Olson (\u003ci\u003eDavid Lynch: Beautiful Dark\u003c\/i\u003e), in his characteristically intimate and personal way, traces the \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003ecurrents of Lynch’s emotional-visceral storytelling, themes, imagery, and sound: the way the artist and viewer share an electrified circuit of mystery and understanding. Olson details Lynch’s kinship with transcendence-seeking artists like William Blake, Walt Whitman, Jean Cocteau, Philip K. Dick, and the post-World War II mystical Northwest painters. Small-town values, coffee culture, the color pink, the Bible, Vedic literature, Marvel Comics superheroes, and a Parisian camera crew wanting Olson to guide them through \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e territory all make appearances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver a thirty-year span, Lynch and Mark Frost created forty-eight hours of \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e TV and film, hypnotic cinematic music immersed in the depths and divine heights of human nature, a soulful song of the forest, America, the world, the cosmos. Olson, Lynch, and \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e have been on parallel tracks for decades. Olson’s longtime love, Linda Bowers, died shortly before \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks: The Return\u003c\/i\u003e aired, and his lived experience with Lynch’s art speaks to the healing power of artistic engagement. Here his chronicle includes personal interaction with Lynch and Frost and their colleagues, as well as Olson’s perception of Lynch's inner world of karmic balancing, reincarnation, spiritual evolution, and veneration of women.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fayetteville Mafia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":53391599993105,"sku":"9781949024623","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6890\/3185\/files\/cover_414a6caa-505a-4fcf-81d8-33556518f060.jpeg?v=1776867013","url":"https:\/\/www.stablebookgroup.com\/products\/black-coffee-lightning","provider":"Stable Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
