Dick, the color pink, the Bible, Vedic literature, and Marvel superheroes.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Lynch is an international icon of visionary artistic innovation, humanistic thought and philanthropy, and spiritual exploration, and T\u003ci\u003ewin Peaks: The Return\u003c\/i\u003eis his magnum opus, a mythopoetic summation of his deepest beliefs and concerns. In \u003ci\u003eBlack Coffee Lightning: David Lynch Returns to Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, Greg Olson (\u003ci\u003eDavid Lynch: Beautiful Dark\u003c\/i\u003e), in his characteristically intimate and personal way, traces the \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003ecurrents of Lynch's emotional-visceral storytelling, themes, imagery, and sound: the way the artist and viewer share an electrified circuit of mystery and understanding. Olson details Lynch's kinship with transcendence-seeking artists like William Blake, Walt Whitman, Jean Cocteau, Philip K. Dick, and the post-World War II mystical Northwest painters. Small-town values, coffee culture, the color pink, the Bible, Vedic literature, Marvel Comics superheroes, and a Parisian camera crew wanting Olson to guide them through \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e territory all make appearances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver a thirty-year span, Lynch and Mark Frost created forty-eight hours of \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e TV and film, hypnotic cinematic music immersed in the depths and divine heights of human nature, a soulful song of the forest, America, the world, the cosmos. Olson, Lynch, and \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e have been on parallel tracks for decades. Olson's longtime love, Linda Bowers, died shortly before \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks: The Return\u003c\/i\u003e aired, and his lived experience with Lynch's art speaks to the healing power of artistic engagement. Here his chronicle includes personal interaction with Lynch and Frost and their colleagues, as well as Olson's perception of Lynch's inner world of karmic balancing, reincarnation, spiritual evolution, and veneration of women.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf anyone were ever destined to write about David Lynch and the world of \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, it would be Greg Olson, founder of the Seattle Art Museum's award-winning film program. Born in Seattle, Olson grew up in the\u003ci\u003e Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e region, where his father was a Swedish emigrant lumberjack in the same woods of northwestern Washington as Pete Martell. Olson is the author of \u003ci\u003eDavid Lynch: Beautiful Dark\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) and has also written about Lynch for \u003ci\u003eFilm Comment\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePremiere\u003c\/i\u003e (Japan). He introduced Lynch the only time the director has appeared live with one of his films in Seattle, for a screening of the famously esoteric \u003ci\u003eINLAND EMPIRE\u003c\/i\u003e, and has hosted numerous \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e cast members, including Sheryl Lee just prior to the premiere of \u003ci\u003eThe Return\u003c\/i\u003e. When he is not writing about Lynch or \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, he is still writing about film, having contributed reviews and articles to the \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Washington Daily, Bellevue Journal American, Seattle Times, Seattle\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and \u003ci\u003eMoviemaker\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, as well as eighteen essays for the book \u003ci\u003eVietnam War Films, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Scarecrow Video Movie Guide's\u003c\/i\u003e sections on visionary director Michael Powell (\u003ci\u003eThe Red Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e), film noir, and director Jacques Tati, one of Lynch's favorites.
