Description
Catching the Big Fish is a revelation for all who want to understand Lynch's personal vision. It is equally compelling for anyone wondering how they can nurture their own creativity.
When it first appeared in 2006, David Lynch's Catching the Big Fish was celebrated for being "as close as Lynch will ever come to an interior shot of his famously weird mind" (Rocky Mountain News). Now, for the bestseller's 10th anniversary, Lynch dives deeper into the creative process and the benefits of Transcendental Meditation with the addition of his exclusive Q-and-A interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
The musicians open up to Lynch about their artistry, history, and the benefits they have experienced, both artistically and personally, from their decades-long practice of Transcendental Meditationโa technique they and their fellow Beatles helped popularise in the 1960s.
Catching the Big Fish is a revelation for all who want to understand Lynch's personal vision. It is equally compelling for anyone wondering how they can nurture their own creativity.
