i recently listened to the audiobook version of this book of his while working on a halloween themed puzzle. he’s narrated it himself and it was a very pleasant experience. i can see myself returning to this as i try to stretch my atrophied creativity and will probably seek out more of his literary work. the way he views things and explains them (or refuses to elaborate) is very inspiring.

Not sure why but seems slept on that David Lynch wrote and reads his own audiobook. There‘s amazing storytelling, wisdom, sound effects and peace to be found by listening to this. Especially if you are living the art life 💯

Here’s something I thought I had sworn off, I mean, I hadn’t touched the stuff in years, not on the physical page at least. As a *painter* (looks down at paint-splattered jeans, bites lip, giggles) I use my hands for touching paintbrushes, resulting in a high improbability of actual page-turning, thus making me the single highest volume consumer of podcasts and audiobooks in the known universe. I’ve always found it hard to find the books I want to read on audiobook, and after years of attempting to copy and paste entire PDFs into various text-to-speech apps (yes, listening to Bataille’s Story of The Eye in a monotonous Australian robo voice does have its appeal), I’ve recently turned to the technology of Words On Paper. Hey, I love the stuff! I usually find myself doing word-listening to books about history or theory but suddenly I’m finding fiction to be riveting. I know, I know, its hard to imagine, but you gotta believe me mister, I really do enjoy this activity! I’m just concluding my Nabokov era (Pale Fire blew m’mind) and am knee-deep in some really big thick girthy book by Proust or whatever.— sponsored by generic brand adderall
