With an eye toward the show's 2017 return, a look at the television phenomenon that has delighted and confounded fans for 25 years.
MONTCLAIR, N.J. – Twin Peaks, the infamously strange, seductive, and confounding murder mystery that first made network television safe for surrealism 25 years ago, is set to return to the small screen in early 2017. Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the series continues to enjoy a hallowed standing in popular culture and remains a touchstone in the evolution of TV as an artistic medium.
For its many intensely devoted fans, Twin Peaks continues to beguile and disturb and delight; it's a bottomless well of allusions, symbols, conundrums to ponder and images to unpack, an endlessly engrossing puzzle box, an obsessive's dream.
Twin Peaks FAQ: All That's Left to Know About a Place Both Wonderful and Strange by David Bushman and Arthur Smith (June 2016, Applause Books, $19.99) guides longtime fans and the newly initiated through the origins of the series, takes them behind the scenes during its production, and transports readers deep into the rich mythology that made Twin Peaks a cultural phenomenon.
Bushman and Smith provide detailed episode guides, character breakdowns, and explorations of the show's distinctive music, fashion, and locations. With a sometimes snarky, always thoughtful – but never dry or academic – analysis of Twin Peaks' myriad oddities, mysteries, references, and delicious insanity, Twin Peaks FAQ is a comprehensive, immersive, and irresistible reference for experts and newbies alike.
