Excerpt from The House of Lynch But it is rather enriched by the irony which reminds us throughout that Conrad had a little too much money. If it could have been called Conrad in Quest Of His Life, in the sense Of his livelihood, the story might possibly have been more happy if less humorous. I am, myself, especially attracted by the adventures Of the impecunious poet in While Pam's Laughed; but Mr. Merrick is too much Of an artist to treat in the same way the pugnacious poverty in The House of Lynch. He does not confuse a peasant's toil to get a living with a vagabond's trick to get a lodging. The same simile Of a peasant might serve to remind us Of the other side Of France from that so gracefully sketched in the Montmartre quarter; and the same idle fancy Of a shifting Of titles might easily imagine Mr. Merrick writing a more realistic romance about the later and darker days of the same great capital, when it defiantly waited its deliverance from the menace Of the worst tyranny Of the world; a story that might well have been called While Paris Watched or even While Paris Prayed.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unprecedented look into the personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family “Insightful . . . an impressively industrious and comprehensive account of Lynch’s career.”—The New York Times Book Review In this unique hybrid of biography and memoir, David Lynch opens up for the first time about a life lived in pursuit of his singular vision, and the many heartaches and struggles he’s faced to bring his unorthodox projects to fruition. Lynch’s lyrical, intimate, and unfiltered personal reflections riff off biographical sections written by close collaborator Kristine McKenna and based on more than one hundred new interviews with surprisingly candid ex-wives, family members, actors, agents, musicians, and colleagues in various fields who all have their own takes on what happened. Room to Dream is a landmark book that offers a onetime all-access pass into the life and mind of one of our most enigmatic and utterly original living artists. With insights into . . . Eraserhead The Elephant Man Dune Blue Velvet Wild at Heart Twin Peaks Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Lost Highway The Straight Story Mulholland Drive INLAND EMPIRE Twin Peaks: The Return Praise for Room to Dream “A memorable portrait of one of cinema’s great auteurs . . . provides a remarkable insight into [David] Lynch’s intense commitment to the ‘art life.’ ”—The Guardian “This is the best book by and about a movie director since Elia Kazan’s A Life (1988) and Michael Powell’s A Life in Movies (1986). But Room to Dream is more enchanting or appealing than those classics. . . . What makes this book endearing is its chatty, calm account of how genius in America can be a matter-of-fact defiance of reality that won’t alarm your dog or save mankind. It’s the only way to dream in so disturbed a country.”—San Francisco Chronicle

This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympotic pottery which served a Late Archaic house in the Athenian Agora. The deposit contains household and fine-ware pottery, nearly all the figured pieces of which are forms associated with communal drinking. Since it comes from a single house, the pottery also reflects purchasing patterns and thematic preferences of the homeowner. The multifaceted approach adopted in this book shows that meaning and use are inherently related, and that through archaeology one can restore a context of use for a class of objects frequently studied in isolation. Winner of the 2013 James R. Wiseman Book Award given by the Archaeological Institute of America.

Excerpt from Quaker Lady: The Story of Charity Lynch and Her People My father had a birthright membership in the Spring field Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. This he automatically forfeited when he married, and joined the Methodist Church. The farm home near the lower meeting house on Todd's Fork, in Clinton County, Ohio, was bro ken up when grandfather died. Grandmother went to live in Dayton. Each summer, she paid us a visit at our home near the campus of the Friends College in Wilmington, Ohio. I have vivid memories of the services of silent worship in the old meeting-house, and of Grandma Harvey taking her place in the facing benches. My reverence for this dear Quakeress has made me interested in all Quakers. I, myself, am now a grandmother, and memories grow sweeter with the years. Some time ago, I began recording facts that my children may wish to know when no one is left to tell them; then came the opportunity to help with a Woods family history. These were my husband's people - staunch Associated Reformers. Scattered through attic treasure into which I delved were many elusive clues to a Lynch family, and I learned that my husband, also, had Quaker ancestry.
