Yet others see in Lynch's work the deification of the female, and actresses like Laura Dern and Naomi Watts jump at every opportunity to work with him. \"He is the master of the juxtaposition of the creepy and the sweet, the sexual and the chaste,\" wrote W's Lynn Hirschberg. \"And at the heart of this tense, intriguing friction, you will always find Lynch's women.\" The Women of Lynch is a deep, provocative dive into this paradox, featuring twelve essays, thought pieces, and impressionistic interpretations of Lynch's depiction of women on screen by an eclectic array of accomplished female critics, scholars, performers, and writers, each tackling this vexing conundrum in her own unique way. It also contains brand new interviews with Lynch actresses Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson, \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e) and Charlotte Stewart (\u003ci\u003eEraserhead, Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book contains essays by: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ex.
