As with all things David Lynch, expect the unexpected.  Here we have not a biography or an autobiography, but instead, both.  The book is fairly evenly split between world-class interviewer and longtime Lynch intimate, Kristine McKenna's biography of Lynch – based on over 100 interviews with "surprisingly candid" ex-wives, family members and professional collaborators of all stripes – and Lynch's own personal reflections on his life and work, which – intriguingly – riff off of McKenna's work, making for a sort of auto/biographical jam session.  And then there is the copious selection of rare and previously unshared photographs, particularly noteworthy being those of the youthful, 1970s Lynch along with his (often equally youthful) cohorts, many of which are "oh, wow"-inducing.
