"Offers a great deal to those beginning their investigations into David Lynch, as well as providing a stream of new insights and critical angles for those more familiar with the director's work. Nieland has not only got inside David Lynch's house: he has exposed its interior to expert interpretation."—Senses of Cinema
"A stunning piece of work. One of the most provocative, erudite, and elegantly written—not to mention persuasive—writings on Lynch I have seen. It is a much-needed volume and will contribute to Lynch criticism, but its reach is much wider; it will signal the arrival of a significant voice to the field. This is the book."—Akira Mizuta Lippit, author of Atomic Light (Shadow Optics)"Justus Nieland's study is something of a revelation. . . . it breathes new life into a canon that had appeared to have reached a point of critical exhaustion. . . . an impressive achievement."—Screening the Past
