The very sad news of the passing of one of the greatest film directors of all times are making their way around the globe. David Lynch stood out with such a unique vision, his work looked and felt like nothing else. His movies primarily concerned themselves with dreams and the inconscient, Lynch mixed this ''freudian'' interpretation of the world with a very personal surreal flair, his works were much more concerned with interesting thoughts and evoking strong emotions than with every single detail making as much sense as possible.
When seeing his movies it's very hard not to think of other similarly unique creators who might have inspired him, authors like Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, Samuel Beckett and post modernists like Thomas Pynchon all seem to have left an imprint on his work.
What are some other authors that you think have inspired David or maybe the other way around, what are some works of literature that you feel have been inspired by his creations?
It's worth of note the reminder that David Lynch himself was an author who published multiple books, like ''Catching the Big Fish'' and ''Room to Dream''.
