Mitch Horowitz, a writer in occult themes and the editor-in-chief of Tarcher/Penguin, spoke with David Lynch in honor 10th-anniversary edition of Catching The Big Fish (Amazon). Taped back in September when he was just about to complete editing the new Twin Peaks, there’s no word on the series but its original music is featured throughout.

Somebody on the corner tells you they can teach you Transcendental Meditation, say, “Thanks, Jack, but I want the real thing!”

You’ll hear a vigorous David Lynch at his absolute best, generously talking in metaphors and some of that peachy keen ’50s vocabulary. At one point in the interview, he’s asked to describe the Mulholland Drive scene where Adam Kesher goes to meet the Cowboy.
