The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost
5.0
Like the show Twin Peaks itself, the scope of The Secret History of Twin Peaks is larger than the mystery at hand, confounding expectations. This book inhabits an interesting space outside time that envelopes the original show and affords us a glimpse of the intervening years leading up to its upcoming revival.
As viewers of the show, we were lured in by the prospect of solving a tragic murder and gradually realized that event only brushed the surface of Twin Peaks' many mysteries. Similarly the book reels us in with a mystery of its own--the identity of the author of a recently uncovered dossier--then reveals a treasure trove of mysterious American history dating back to the Lewis and Clark expedition before gradually circling back to events directly concerning beloved and peripheral characters from the show.
And the experience reading from this gorgeous and thoughtfully produced book was a pleasure I'd liken to drinking, excuse me, a damn fine cup of coffee at the Double R Diner.
