David Lynch is the director of such films as "Blue Velvet," "Eraserhead," "Wild at Heart," and "Lost Highway" and the television show "Twin Peaks." Lynch is also the subject of the fifth essay in the book. Lynch's early movies are enormous critical successes, but when he is hired to direct "Dune" it is a critical and financial disaster. Lynch is able to return to stature after creating "Blue Velvet" for a tiny budget. However, by the time Lynch is producing "Lost Highway," he is again on the outs with critics and audiences. Wallace describes Lynch as being extremely nerdy but not caring about it and having an extremely funny voice which sounds "like Jimmy Stewart on acid" (Wallace, p. 185).
