@Srirachachau Yep, Lynch said that in Lynch on Lynch - he was *really* annoyed at the idea it was exploitative to cast a disabled actor. As you say, he really liked Richard Pryor, so cast him. It was a dick move by DFW to make that accusation. I actually don’t love his Lost Highway essay.

@thebooksdesk It’s a very, very good column. (If depressing. But we all know that it is.)

@RJMcDiarmid Yes, apparently it will be SA book reviews only, with Queensland/only book reviews in the Qld version. (Or maybe SA & Qld reviews running across both? Not quite sure.)

"I love the idea that one thing can be different for different people. Everything’s that way." – David Lynch There are so many ways to see and remember his work. This is mine. I'm loving reading the many takes out there, particularly right now.

Now that I've written my reflections on David Lynch, Twin Peaks and what his work has meant to me (as an autistic fan who sees traits, but won't label), I can go back to my 'holiday'. (ie. watching Twin Peaks)

@MegMundell Love you, Meg! In another moment in time, I might get another column. In this one, I think I do a Substack books column or simply use the free time each month to do something else creative. (Which is not such a bad way to look at it.) Thank you, though. Much appreciated! xo
