Subject: David Lynch=Thomas Pynchon From: jal@ceres.physics.uiowa.edu Date: 1990-11-16, 12:50 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Here is my theory, (which is mine, ahh-hmm). David Lynch is really Thomas Pynchon. They both have been linked to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) and seem to have the same interests in conspiracies and popular culture. My theory is that Pynchon got tired of doing purely literary work and wanted to do something visual. Now since film-making is a collaborative art and he wanted to keep his Pynchon anonymity, he just developed the Lynch character (who would fit nicely in a Pynchon novel). Maybe this is all performance art. Now I'm sure someone can prove me wrong in a zillion ways, but just think about it ...
